Hey Grandpa, I just wanted to leave a comment and say that things are going well. My birthday is Sunday, I’m turning sixteen just like we talked about but no, my .old man. isnt getting me a car :P.However I’ll be taking my permit test Tuesday and hopefully,it’ll go well. I’m sorry that you can’t be here anymore but if you couldn’t tell I’ve been keeping up with my promise and intend to continue to do so Grammy will be back home from Arizona and I can’t wait. We’re all doing well now and I just wanted to let you know that its all alright, if you didnt by now. Finally the bad thoughts about your death have gone away and my new outlook gave me inspiration to write an article about teens having to deal with deaths for newspaper. The teacher in charge of the paper apparently loves it and I am proud of it also. I hope you get to watch the Yankees and catch up on anything you had missed out on while you were in the hospital. I love you very much and only want you happy. I love you 🙂

I worked with Bill back in the days of Sherwood Medical. I was a young kid learning the life of a jaintor he was my teacher and a friend. We had a lot of laughs together, like when he taught me how to buff the floors. And I knocked down all the walls in the office til Bill ran over and pulled the plug. We laughed so hard we cried. I wish we had kept in touch over the years but we didn’t. I only have happy memories of my friend Bill. He will be missed, but I know God will take good care of him now.I send my deepest sympathy to family and friends. Sincerly, Ms. Paula Yenkelun
There are no words to say how greatly I will miss my Grandfather. I will always remember all the talks we’ve had, that infectious smile of his, the times we’ve joked about how I’m passing him out in height and how he always made me laugh when he said that I needed to stop growing. No matter if he was watching the most important game of the season or just a re-run Grandpa would always talk with me and make me smile. He didn’t ever leave me to doubt his love and I know that he’ll always be looking after me. I remember that the last day that my Dad and I had visited him we said our goodbyes, we hugged and kissed each other on the cheeks, I told him that I loved him and he said that he loved me too and called me sweetheart. After that my grind couldn’t stop because I knew how much he loved me. He told me to be a good girl and I promised him that I would, and I do intend to keep that promise. I feel extremly lucky to have ever of had the chance to know and love my Grandpa, he will always be in my thoughts and prayers. I will always love and remember my Grandpa. I hope to make him proud with my life choices. Grandpa loved every family member of his and all of us knew it. He had a heart of gold and I love him dearly. God bless him.
you may not know of this song but it played before i saw you that night of june 28th. dedicated especially to you, the following lyrics are .you and me. by lifehouse. .What day is it? And in what month? This clock never seemed so alive I can’t keep up and I can’t back down I’ve been losing so much time Cause it’s you and me and all of the people with nothing to do Nothing to lose And it’s you and me and all of the people And I don’t know why, I can’t keep my eyes off of you All of the things that I want to say just aren’t coming out right I’m tripping on words You’ve got my head spinning I don’t know where to go from here Cause it’s you and me and all of the people with nothing to do Nothing to prove And it’s you and me and all of the people And I don’t know why, I can’t keep my eyes off of you There’s something about you now I can’t quite figure out Everything she does is beautiful Everything she does is right Cause it’s you and me and all of the people with nothing to do Nothing to lose And it’s you and me and all of the people And I don’t know why, I can’t keep my eyes off of you and me and all of the people with nothing to do Nothing to prove And it’s you and me and all of the people And I don’t know why, I can’t keep my eyes off of you What day is it? And in what month? This clock never seemed so alive. i love you grandpa.
