In Loving Memory
On April 9th the family suffered the loss of one of my husband's grandfathers. In the short amount of years that I have gotten to know him, I can truly say that I loved that man. He was always so kind and spunky, very accepting and loving. He was that way up until his last day. I can't even express how wonderful he was. He will be missed by so many. Two of his adult granddaughter's wrote a letter about him, expressing what a wonderful and loving grandfather he has always been and how he from the start always treated them as family. You see, he wasn't their original grandfather. Their original grandfather passed away many, many years ago. And when Gerald stepped in, he accepted them and treated them as family right from the start. His granddaughter was very strong as she stood up there and read this. I think he left a loving mark on everyone he touched, as I can say I feel the same she did even though I was married in to the family, he was always very loving and welcoming, and boy could he make you smile and laugh.
