What can I say.. "Pa" is so very special to me and he holds a huge part of my heart and my life. Our bond was strong and when God took him away alot of me went also. He always said he did not want anyone to be sad when he passed but I cant stop or control the pain I am feeling. The void in me can never be fixed.... To my "Pa" I want to say that I promise to try to be strong through this like you wanted me to be.
Love,"Gerdie"

Grandpa, you were my heart, my soul, my rock (and you still are). I thank you for everything that you've taught me and I thank God for giving me 34 years with you. I definitely wouldnt have been who I am today without you. My heart hurts so bad because I can't see you and I can't give you a hug right now, but I know that you're here and that I will see you again someday. Until then, please watch over all of us and keep us safe, healthy and happy. I'll take care of things here, we will all be o.k., I promise. I Love You so much Brampa!!!
