I need you right now Grandpa- I wish you were here so bad, but I know you wouldn't want to be here after being up in Heaven!!!! It makes me so happy to know your pain free. you put up an amazing fight and now its your time to rest with Jesus! I love you so much Grandpa Never Forgotten

- Johnny, , GA

Grandpa, I miss you so much everyday you have no idea. You were literally the BEST grandfather that could be asked for. Grandma has been pretty upset, but I always tell her that you wouldn't want her to be that way. You know Grandma, shes a sport. I miss you and my dad calling each other 'kid' all the time, and whats funny is I still have no idea what it means.. but anyways I bet your having the time of your life up in Heaven! If they have a woodshop or a 'shop' as it was infamously called at your house, you are set. Haha. Your extremely kind and caring but quiet spirit was the most amazing thing I've ever seen in anybody. OK Grandpa, watch out over us please, and I have a feeling your right on my shoulder and this comforts me. I love and miss you so much and one day we will see each other again. Love, Johnny aka Papoose
