GRANDPA- I just want you back. You left but forgot to tell me how to live without you. You've always been & you'll always be my GOLD. I will keep you alive by speaking of you DAILY. I will be waiting for you to come visit me in my dreams. I know that HEAVEN must be beautiful now that you've arrived. I can't wait for the day when you & I are reunited.....this time it will be forever. Thank you for makiny my life, Tim's life & Jasser & Landon's life so BEAUTIFUL. I got Grandma & Daisy for ya Grandpa. I love you all the way to Jesus! My love for you, a steadfast flame, Unmoved by time, untouched by blame. Through storms and shadows, loss and pain, It holds, it waits, it will remain. No force can dim its constant glow, A beacon strong through ebb and flow. Though distance parts what once was near, My heart still beats to keep you here. In quiet moments, soft and clear, I feel you close, I draw you near. Your memory, like sacred art, Forever carved upon my heart. Though worlds divide us, miles and more, My love stands guard on every shore. Not bound by life, nor held by fear— My eternal love will not disappear. For even when the stars grow cold, And all the stories fade, retold, I will be yours, as I was then, My love, unwavering, without end.

I can't believe that day dreaded day of not being together anymore has came. The pain of losing you feels like more than I can bear. We had 56 years together first 20 were hard and full of trouble. The next 36 were good, we loved each other more than ever before. We understand each other better, but growing up together was what really made a difference. I would do it all again, because that's how much I love you. Watch for me Ronnie by that Eastern gate, I'll be there soon. Than, " I'll Stroll Over Heaven With You." I will always love you, until than my love All my love, Janice
