Grandpa,

I miss you a lot.I have fun memories of us doing great things.I will always remember when you went with me to the daddy daugter dances.And when you were always there for me when I got out of school.And when you couldn't pick me up from school you would always tell grandma but she was always late and you would always yell at her. You took me to my ice skating pratices and never missed a show. When you would always help me with my homework.You will always be in my heart no matter what happens.I love you so very much.

Your granddaughter,

Lindsey Chandler
