I love you so much PopPop.. I still can't believe it. I just wanted so much for you to be okay that I pushed aside the fact that you were sick until it was too late and we were faced with this tragedy... I am glad I never missed an opportunity to tell you how much I love you (More, by the way). I am glad you are now with your wife and no longer in any pain.. But I am still in shock I am writing in an obituary for you.. I still can't handle it.. As I promised, I will make you very proud of me with my career and future choices. You held the family together. You kept us around each other regardless of what was going on. You always knew what to say. Please watch over us. We all need you so bad. Losing Gree was hard and watching you stay strong for us has given me hope.

I pray to God you are happy, with Gree and other friends and family.. and that Heaven is more than paradise for you. You deserve nothing but the best. You give and give without wanting nor taking anything in return. There is no kinder soul in this world.

I have accepted that you are not here anymore... I just hope you really knew how much people loved and cared about you... because you are amazing.

I am proud to be your Granddaughter. You have brought up an awesome family, and I hope we can stay together as one for you.

I hope you know I love you more. I know it aggravated you that I never wanted to leave and kept telling you I loved you, but you never failed in telling me "I know you do, but you don't". I'm glad I could be there for you. I'm glad you were surrounded by people who love you during the moments you were being called home. I love you my PopPop.

Save a spot up there for me, ok? I'll see you and Gree one day again. Until then, I know I'll feel you two around.

I love you so much.
Thank you for being you.
