Grandpa, Thank you for all the love you gave, from my childhood until now, no other will have a Grandfather as great as you were. I could take up pages and that still wouldn’t be enough to tell what you meant to me. In my heart is where you’ve always been and in my heart you’ll always remain. Grandma was so right when she said she got the last best man. I will see you again someday Grandpa! I love you with all my heart.

Love Kim
