There’s just something special about the oldest granddaughter and her grandpa. He made me want to try harder and be my absolute best in life. He had a certain “old fashioned” way to encourage me but I understood his intentions. He recognized my special creative abilities and always found ways to engage with me and encourage me to keep being ME. I know he was proud of me and that’s all I ever wanted. Thank you for loving me the way I am, Gramps. I will miss you so much but I will carry you with me forever. 8/19/1928-11/26/2025
