Grandpa,
You would have had your 93rd birthday this weekend. Not a day goes by I don't think of you, grandma or mom. Thank you again for all the help you've ever given me, and thank you for all the knowledge that you taught me. I can only hope to pass on your kindness to my kids that I learned from you.

I love and miss you every day,

Shaun

Glenn, It is a sad day today since you have passed. We should be glad now that you are free of pain and now with those you have loved and missed so very much. We will cherish your love and memories forever. You were one of the kindest persons in this world. There will never be another person like you. Thank you for sharing your love with us and your kind words and wisdom. You were more like a dad to me than a step-father and that is how I felt you as towards me. We all love and miss you so very much. All our love,
Brenda and family
