I Love You, Lulu

Dear Grand Daddy; They say if you never meet a person face to face you don,t know anything about them. I know you were here befor I was born, but I know more about you than you would think. I am heart broken about your going to heaven, but I know you are in a happy place now. I guess you will be taking care of all the chickens you want now. I bet you have the coolest boat,and fishing poles in heaven too. I know I will get to be with you again someday. If I could tell you what I want. It would be how much I Love you and thanks for all the wonderfull gift and cards over the years. I was really excited that you wanted to come and live with us. Mom had even started moving stuff from my room for you. I really wished you could have lived here alot befor you got sick but I guess God needed you more. I love you Grandaddy..
