I love you grandpa. I loved how he wouldn't always say much but instead, said everything he wanted to in his hugs and whispers in your ear. I felt so close and loved by him. Because of those simple little things. I will forever miss that about him.
I hope that you know how much we all love you and already miss you. I miss your soft sweet voice and amazing bear hugs. When you squeezed me tight I felt how much you loved me and felt how you never wanted to let go. Im sorry for all the times I had to let go, i wish those hugs lasted forever. I will always be greatful for the artistic talent you passed on to me and I promise to carry on the techniques you taught me with watercolor. You are my hero and now my Angel. I will never forget you. I will always remember when mom was trying to get me to bed and I was a stinker that begged that " I has to kiss the grandpa" I remember running down the hall to see you and you making a silly face at me causing me to run to the basement to smother my face with a pillow to hide my laughter. Mom gave into my multiple begs of having to kiss the grandpa before she got tired and told me to finally go to bed. I smiled ear to ear that night as I fell asleep. I dont know if she knows that you too were a stinker egging it all on. But I will always remember the games that you played and the laughter you brought to us all. I am so grateful that the last time I saw you I got to kiss the grandpa. I love you grandpa, more than u will ever know. Be sure to check in with us once and awhile and say hi to Doug for me. I love you always. Kellee.

There are so many moments and so many memories I shared with my grandfather, from the crazy hot Fourth of July summers going to the park to watch the fireworks to the bitter cold Wisconsin Christmas's singing carols he made up himself. (Rudy the brown nosed reindeer will catch on one of these days) The things he taught me from love and patience, being kind to others to drawing and painting, fishing and hunting (although it wasn't my thing) he enjoyed sharing what he knew about it. I will never forget what he has taught me. I will always keep them near and dear to my heart.
Grandpa,
Thank you for all the amazing memories. I miss you. I love you so much. Thank you for everything you have ever given me. I will look up to the clouds and smile knowing that you are standing with the angels in heaven watching over each and every one of us.
Love,
Kerry
