I WANTEDTO SPEND YOUR LAST MOMENTS TOGETHER !!!! I LOOKED AT THE CLOCK AT 5:40 A.M. AND CLOSED MY EYES TO TRY TO FIND YOU....AND I DID. A LITTLE "OLD" HAND CAME THROUGH THE CLOUD AND I NOTICED IT. I GRABBED IT AND HELD ON TO IT. THEN YOUR SECOND HAND CAME OUT AND 'WE HELD HANDS TOGETHER" FOR THE LAST TIME. YOUR HANDS THEN LET GO TO BE WITH GOD. I MISS YOU AND I THANK GOD FOR OUR VISIT, BUT IT WON'T BE OUR LAST.

Pa,

It's been a year and it seems like just yesterday you were with us. We all miss you and pray that you are happy and out of pain. You were one of a kind and I mean that in the best way possible. We are looking after Mom as promised. She misses you terribly. We all do. I love you with all my heart and hope you are watching out for all of us. I think I miss your evil little grin the most. Sundays just aren't the same without you.

Love,
Jeanne

Grandpa, I never really got to know you as a child because we didn't live close and I was unable to get to you. After growing up and finding my own way to get to you I got to know how wonderful a person you really were. I will love and cherish all the years I did get to get close to you and there are many reasons I will smile when I think of you. I love you very much. You mean the world to me and you are already missed.
