    Grandpa, I will miss you. You were such a great man in my life. I remember sitting on the counter watching you shave in the mornings. I enjoyed spending weekends with you and grandma, baking cookies (peanut butter only because you liked them best), watching football and movies and taking road trips to Washington. I love you. I know you are with grandma now. Rest easy.
