I love and will miss my grandfather greatly. He was an honourable man who taught me to always put others first as he did, dedicating his whole life to helping other people. I know he is now in peace with his two daughters patiently waiting for the day he sees us all again. I love you Grandpa. Love, Amber - Posted by: Amber Lewis (Friend) on: Nov 27, 2005
