I wasn’t able to be with Grandpa or the family when Grandpa passed away, I really wish I could have been. I have many great memories of Grandpa but the one that sticks in my head the most was when we came down to visit last summer. Both Granny and Grandpa got to meet my own little family for the first time. My husband Steven and my two sons Jordan and Jaxon. I am so glad we went for that visit cause little did I know that would have been the last time I saw Grandpa. The night before we left the island to go home, Before we went to bed we said our goodbyes to Granny and Grandpa so they didn’t have to get up early in the morning. Grandpa hugged me, kissed me on the cheek and told me that he loved me. That was the last thing he said to me, it was a good feeling. We will always love you and miss you Grandpa xoxoxo Our thoughts are with you Granny, we love and miss you very much. Stay strong xoxoxo
