I will miss you very much grandpa. I love you more than you could have ever known. I will never let Kaitlynn forget you. I know much you loved her as she loved you as well. I know that you are in a much better place now, but I will miss going to visit you and hear that adorable little laugh of yours that always made me giggle. I will look forward to the day that I can be with you again, but for right now you just rest in peace as I know you are no longer suffering. We love you always and forever, Amanda, Kaitlynn, and Shawn
Our deepest sympathy and prayers to you and your family.
Debbie and family, I was sorry to hear about your Dad, I knew him years ago, as a child growing up. Sorry I didn't make it to the viewing, but I didn't know until afterwards.
Just rely on God to help you through this difficult time, as time goes by, it does get easier.
Dad you will be missed by many people who loved you just for being you. You were the best father a daughter could ask for. I will cherish every moment i had with you last summer , fall and most of all that deep, deep snow through the winter. God knew what he was doing as always it just kept snowing and snowing. That was why i got to stay with you and take care of you for so long. I would not change a thing, i just wish you were still here to tie your shoes and help you just like you helped me tie my shoes when i was a little girl. We had some long days and some very interesting conservations and very precious moments that no one can take away from me. I will always keep you close to my heart till we are together again when God turns the earth into a paradise just like you believed. love you daddy your loving daughter Debbie.
I'm so sorry for your familys loss God Bless all of you.
