It's been a year since your passing and it still seems so unreal. I know that you are in a much better place than we are, but we still miss you. God Bless your loved ones Cyndy, Amy and Robert. I know that you are their guardian angel looking out for them from above. I thank God for having had the chance to meet you here on earth and look forward to the day that we meet again in Heaven never to be separated again. Lord haste the day!

Words can't even express what you meant to me and your two grandchildren. You were always there with a joke and a laugh. It's going to be so hard walking in the house and not see you sitting in your chair with at least one of your "girls" on your lap. It's comforting to know that you're up there with my Dad watching over me and the kids. We miss you.
