Grandpa.. you were a great man. I just cant believe that your not here with us now. I remember just the other day I was at your house telling you how i was going to play the violin for you next weeknd, and now I dont have the oppertuinty. Everytime i play all i can do is think of you espically when i play my irish songs. I really miss you Grandpa, i`m sitting here hesitating not really knowing exactly what to say, but I know that up there with Grandma and Uncle Gary looking down on all of us and having the biggest amount of faith in us than anyone ever has. Grandpa I know somehow your still here with us, walking right beside each one of us. Well i love you grandpa and you will be forever in my heart, mind , and soul. I love you.
