Grandpa you are one of a kind. You have taught us how to laugh, love, play, and
just to be happy with who we are and enjoy the simple things in life. We can
never express how much you have touched our lives and everyone around you. You
are loved by so many and will never be forgotten. Keep on singing and dancing
and we will see you again and walk with you on that white rock road. You are
the best grandpa we could ever hope for.

Love always,

Your grandkids
