Bubby. It’s now been 4 years since you left us and went to heaven. Miss you just as much. Lucky for you, you now have Paul with you. It’s a struggle for all of us to have lost Paul. Can you believe that? Paul has missed you so much and at least he is with you and his mom. I know you are all looking over the kids and being their guardian angels. Love always, patty

You were especially special to me and I will hold you in my heart forever. The love and lessons you shared and taught all of us will never ever be forgotten. I pray that you are embraced in Gods loving arms and that you are at a very peaceful place. I love you

It is very hard to lose someone you love. My sincere wish toward the family is that God's Word will comfort you through the coming days. He is a refuge for those in distress. Psalms 9:9
