It´s been so long since I´ve written. Just a quick update, Jaxon is going into kindergarten in a few weeks. Wow right?! He played 2 seasons of soccer and he will be starting flag football in September. I wish you were here to see my life unfold but I know you are watching from a far. I love and miss you so much. I think about you everyday. See you every morning and night on my fireplace. I miss you more than you know.

Grandpa you've been on my mind alot lately. More than usual. Sorry I haven't updated in awhile but as you may know I had a baby boy in October 2016.. He just turned 2 a month ago yesterday. I k ow you would have been proud of me and definitely excited to have met Jaxon. Stubborn but fun just like you. I love and miss you more than words can express. Love you so much.

Looking back today, thinking about my mom, Patsy, my dad, Leon, my Aunt Joanie, who I'll see in a couple weeks, my uncle Frank, my Aunt Ellen, my grandpa, my ga ga,and you Uncle George. All of my cousins, Janet, Meg, Eddie, Jay , Jeff, and Greg. My brothers, Vince, Lloyd, and Lance! The house on 34th Street in San Diego, CA. The Christmas's, the Thanksgivings, and the summers at Mission Bay...
Best days of my life as a child, and I'll never forget!

Thinking about you everyday and wishing you were here. Grandma misses you so much. I wish I could ease her sadness. There isn't a moment in the day that she doesn't wish you were there with her. Keep loving her from afar and whisper gently to her your love for her so she can hear you. I love you so much and want you to know how much you meant to me my entire life. You were my everything. I still cry when I think of you and talk about you, no matter the reason. I will always have a broken heart until we meet again. This life is not the same with you not here. Love, Love you!!!!

Grandpa,
So many things have changed in the last year. I know you are always around making sure everything goes right at times. I moved to Texas for my job. The thought of leaving grandma was heartbreaking but i know you will keep her strong and safe. I am going home in March to visit. I miss you so very much. I think about you all the time. I love you.

Dearest GeeGee....
I had to giggle recently when one of your nephews told about waking you up.... not fun apparently. They rigged a long pole for poking instead of standing close! (I giggled because I woke you once at the cabin by stepping on your bunk (I was 8ish) and you're like a bear!!)
But I never saw anyone not listen when you were telling a story...Bob and I love your humor! and love the respect everyone has for you!! Happy trails, Cuz! Obviously you are sorely missed.... and deeply loved!!

Oh how my heart is heavy for you all Meg!
The best of the best are in Heaven now!
He was such a sweet man, we sure did have the best childhood growing up in NH!
I hold on to those memories with all my heart and soul!
We will be reunited again someday, until then, He's in Our Lords hands and at rest at last! God Bless you and all your family!
Always in my thoughts and prayers!
God Bless, Love always, Mary Cook

I believe we will all be together again some day! Your probably smokin a cigar with my dad right about now !!! I love you Uncle! Love Linda
