Poppie we all love & miss you with all our hearts. You are a great man & could always light up a room with just your entry. The kids talk about you often & ask why they can't see you one more time & I tell them that you are always with them & that you will visit them in their dreams. They like the fact that they have their own angel watching over them please protect them & keep yourself out of trouble! I love you Poppie & I'm sorry for some of the things I said to you, but at the time you needed to hear them, because that's the kind of relationship we had, that we weren't afraid to speak our minds to each other. RIP Poppie you need some rest after the fight you had here.
