To my grandpa, the days have been hard since you have been gone. It is an ease to know that you are back with Granny. I will always love you with every breath that I take. And know that Tony and I are going to miss you. You were the best grand-father that anyone would ever want! To the whole Lewallen family, I am very proud of you for the hard decisions that have been made (Norm Jr.), you did everything right by putting Gramps in Hospice when you did, he is in a better place now! I will always love you Grandpa! ~ Love Amanda & Tony
