My greatest memories of us are our afternoon talks.

I also want to say I love our rides to the doctors, and secret detours to the Dairy Queen.

I love riding through the hallways of the hospital with you. I was proud to be the chosen one who helped you get to where you needed to be.

I look around at other women taking their dads out in their wheel chairs, and my heart aches for our times together. I hope those ladies know how special and short those times are to be, and treasure them as I have.

I miss you so badly.

My fondest memory of you is when I was doing a job for you. In the beginning you would hover over me hoping for a mistake. Testing both my skills and my patience. I think for the most part I passed both.

I loved how toward the end of the many projects you gave your stamp of approval saying "Timmy does good work, leave him alone over there"

It makes me feel good to know you felt you were leaving your most precious family in good hands.

I miss you lots already Charlie.

Dear Grandpa,

I loved playing Mario Sunshine with you everyday after school. 

I loved knowing you were watching out the window while I was learning to ride my bike.

I also know you were watching me learning how to throw a baseball with my dad.

I wish you were still here to watch us.

I love you so much!!

I remember you had that candy draw for me.

I will love you forever.

I miss you Grandpa!!

One great memory is when Timothy was a baby in his infant seat.

We laughed when you would take his pacifier away and repeadedly whisper in his ear

                         "Buy Low~Sell High"

 His first words were not those onces but I have since your passing told him of that and now he will never forget that phrase "Buy Low~Sell High"

  I remember how you would whisper to him as an infant

              "you gotta damn good Grandpa!!"

Thats true as well, and we  told Tim about that and he repeats both phrases once in a while.

He misses you dearly.
