My grandfather was a very good hearted man. I will miss him. And cherish every moment I had with him. And always remember everything he taught me about life. May he rest in peace.

I’m so very sad about Hugh’s death, but I plan to see him when I get to heaven. We had our church group of kids who ran around together in our teens. We celebrated our weddings and welcoming each other’s children into the world. I have many happy memories of our lives together. I have remembered his dear family in my prayers. I believe he is enjoying the time together with family and friends who are with him.
