To my heart, to my buddy, I love you papa,
A part of my heart has died with you from the loss of not only a grandfather but also a father. Every memory during the 25 years I’ve been blessed to spend with you will never fade but only get better. You are my shining star. You are one in a million. God gave me my blessing as I watched you take your last breathe, peacefully. Thank you. Such a moment will never be forgotten. I dream of the day that we go fishing together again and sneak sweats when grandma isn’t at home. As I make the transition from “being with” to “memories of” I am happy to say that I have no regrets. I feel fortunate to have wonderful memories of a fun, generous, caring, supportive and loving papa. One who has enriched my life immeasurably. Now I have no choice than to part from you, my buddy, and ask that you rest in peace, that you think about us and miss us, because we here, down below, love you so much. To the angels of heaven that are with you now I ask that they watch and guard over you well because you deserve such a guard. I will love you always my heart, my buddy, my papa!

Always and Forever, Jaime
