Pepe, What more could I have asked for. You were the God that any kid would want their grandfather to be. It never mattered how many miles away we were your love for me was close enough for me to feel your mustache tickle my cheek. Your laugh will play in my head for years to come. Your loving eyes will be seen when I close my eyes. Your strong and reafirming hold will be felt every time I share an embrace with anyone I truely Love. Because you taught me true love. There was never a person that made me feel so worth the word than you. Now that you are gone I will take that love and spread it arround. With Loving eyes, joyful sounds and strong embraces i will love the world as you loved me. Thank you for everything. Always - Sarah Louise
