Good bye grandpa you will be sadly missed! Although we are unable to make the funeral, we want the rest of the family to know we are with you all in this time of need. Our family remembers time spent at the garden with grandpa and the kids running about, it was wonderful. Grandpa always had something for Jason to fix or myself helping him with other odds and ends - it was never a dull day at the garden! We apologize for not being able to come.
