All Condolences -

I miss you grandpa forever and always and I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you as long as I should have been I disappeared for so many years busy being a rebel and rebelling against moms wishes for my life and everything else that I didn’t come around. But now I plan on coming to see h at Fairmont cemetery at LEAST twice a year if not more I’ve already been there a couple times this year. Left a red white and blue heart wreath with fake white roses (so that they never die, like the love and memories I have for/of you) and I left a bouquet of sunflowers for you today so that you may fly as high as the sun and even higher in the heavens. Love and miss you grandpa. Forever and always.
