Thank you for so many things in my life. I had a beautiful wedding, and a kind and thoughtful father in law. If I never thanked you before I meant to everyday. Thank you for remaining a part of my daughter's life, especially when she needed to share important moments with someone she felt close too. There is no other love like a grandfather's love.

I loved the talks we had grandpa, from the time I was a little girl, through high school, college, my marriage and my first child. I wish I could have been there for you, because Grandpa, you have always been there for me. You will forever be in my heart. My children will also know of your kindness, and love. Your loving granddaughter Lucinda, and your great grandsons Joseph, Eli, and Ben.
