My grandpa never failed to make me laugh. I always remember laughing to all the jokes he used to tell. He used to make me and my brother laugh until we were actually crying. He was also a sweet man. I miss him already❤️

Dad, It is hard to know what to say right now. My heart is broken, but there are so many things I am truly grateful for. Three of which are your loving bonds with Layla and Nick, all the times we spent together and you celebrating 25 years of marriage with Ellie. Your spirit will live on through Layla, Nick, myself and all those who loved you. We know you are in Heaven watching over us with all the other angels we love and know you were welcomed by them with open arms. Love You Always, Melissa
