Grandpa, I don't know what to say Sue pretty much hit the nail on the head when she talked about your smile and your sense of humor. I will always have that in my memories of you. You will always be in my heart and you will always have a special place in my heart. I know one day will meet again. But for now your memories will stay close to my heart. I love you Grandpa.

Daddy, I cannot tell you how much I love you and will miss you. You never made me feel like an in-law and you always made me feel special and loved. I thank God every day for being truly blessed for the love and the memories I have and feel for you. My mind and heart will never forget your smile, your sense of humor, or that cute look that came on your face when you were trying to get away with something (like eating a desert you weren't suppose to have). I will never forgot our trips to the casino, or trying to find the right machine for you to hit it big. Well now you have hit it big, and I have the comfort of knowing you are on the next stage of your life with no pain or worries - lots of sweets and deserts, and every cloud has a slot machine with an un-limited supply of quarters.
Love you always, Sue
