I can't believe how much time has passed. Seems like just a short while ago I was a kid rollerblading around the neighborhood and waving to you doing yard work. I'm so glad you were able to walk your daughters down the aisle, and meet your beautiful Grand children. They are very blessed to have known you even for such a short time... rest peacefully, you will be missed but not forgotten.
