Papa,
I am going to miss you so much. Your super strong hugs and infectious chuckles linger in my mind when I think of you. I always loved to hear one of your stories. Whether you were entertaining me with stories from your misbegotten youth or your days in the military, you could always spin a tale. I will always cherish the memories of hot summer days when you would show me a baby calf stumbling for purchase on the barn floor or the new litter of piglets or just strolling around the farm checking on "stuff". The memories are special to me not for their content, but for the fact that you are a central part of them. I am proud to have been your grandaughter and to know that you were just as proud of me.
I love you Pop's.

Dear Ardy and Families, this is Steve Groff. I can't remember for sure which State Agency that we worked at, but I remembered you Ardy, as all of my Friends and CO-Workers. I'm so sorry to read about your Husband/Fathers Passing. I certainly know what it is like to loose Loved-Ones. I've lost both of my Parents and my Life-Partner of 10-years and I'm living in the house that I grew up in, since I was 7-years old.

You all have a special place in my Heart and Prayers now and always. Take care until later, know that I'm Praying for Peace for you all.

Peace, Blessings, Love Prayers and Hugs, Steve Groff

Papa,
The name always brought a smile to my face. To know you were my world whom I always felt the most loved by would be an understatment. I Have always felt that you were truly a gift from god. So it is only fair that you are home again. I Love You with all of my heart.

Love Always Amanda

Papa,

I will never forget the great times I had with you. You were and are the greatest Grandfather a grandaughter could ask for. I have such wonderful memories of being on the ranch with you taking care of the animals, feeding the pigs and cleaning out pig pens. After we were through with the chores we would go inside and relax with a bottle of Pepsi. I will miss those big bear hugs that I would get when I first got to the house and when it was time to leave. I know that you loved all of your grandchildren the same, but when we were with you by ourselves you always made us feel like we were your favorite. I am so grateful to know the gospel and how you played an intricate roll in teaching me it. I will miss your voice and you calling me Hairdoo. I love you and Grandma with all my heart and am proud to be your grandaughter for eternity.

Love for Eternity,

Heather
