Granddaddy, You got your wish to stay at your lake home you shared with Nana to the end. I know you are overjoyed to be reunited with her. Our family has shared so many memories with you and yours! We have so many funny adventures, hospital visits, doctors and therapy appointments to remember. Some moments resulted in funny stories which united us even more. It was a privilege to help care for you and Nana. We had fun having our celebrations with different theme and music days! Lots of laughter and tears. We had fun finding lost stuff only to lose it again! It all had to do with our outlook on things! Remain positive! There was no doubt of your strong love for Nana! Shirley remained as the true love of your life ! Granddaddy, I will always think of you when I see or eat m &m"s! Wish we could share one now! I figure you are playing your sax for Nana in heaven! She always enjoyed hearing you play. We all did! So glad you are no longer in pain as your shoulder really took the brunt of a recent fall. Don't worry Granddaddy, I will still be here to watch out for Melody and Vicki! I love you and miss you! Hug Nana for me! Becky
