Grandpa, I can't believe it's your 4th Birthday in Heaven.You would have been 73 years old today on Earth with us. As I grow older everything you tought me, every conversation big or small has become more prominent in my life. I feel you with me every day. Every decision I need help with, I think of what your advice would have been. I am so lost without you some days. I relive the day our whole family got together for your last Birthday a couple days before your passing. Grandpa I know you watch over us all. You are the greatest grandpa ever. I love you SO SO much and miss you more than I can describe. I am forever Grampa's girl ♡

Grandpa today marks 3 years of your passing. 3 years that I have not been able to hug and laugh with you. 3 years that I have missed you constantly everyday. 3 years my heart has hurt for you. 3 years I have prayed to God that you are happy and safe and watching over us.3 years that I have stared at the baby blue skies wondering if somewhere through the clouds, those are your baby blue eyes watching over us. 3 years of hoping Grandma is going to be okay without you by her side. 3 years of missing a piece to my heart. 3 years of hearing our song and holding back the tears. 3 years of every morning on my way to work thinking of you when I see the sun rise. 3 years of passing gingersnaps, donuts,or sweets somewhere and thinking of you. 3 years of every coffee I drink is in memory of you and the mornings I would visit with you and Grams and we'd talk while Grams cooked for us. 3 years of looking at my baby girl and remembering the times you held her in your big hands, just the way you held me when I was young. 3 years of wishing you could be there in person at all of our future happy times. 3 years of looking at your picture and trying to console myself; trying to tell myself that you are still there even though I can't see you. 3 years of feeling your warmth and love surround me in my heart instead, when I call out to you. 3 years of remembering the advice you gave before you passed. 3 years of remembering the last words you said. 3 years of remembering that last warm touch of your hand. 3 years of remembering your last words. 3 years of rembering your last breath. 3 years of visiting you every chance I get. 3 years of seeing your name written in stone. 3 years of grieving for you. 3 years wishing this was a bad dream. 3 years wanting my Grandpa back. 3 years of tears and pain. 3 years of believing and having faith that I will see you again.I love you and miss you every day Gramps.

Can't believe it's been 3 years!! We love and miss you!!!

We are thankful for the memories, and for having had Ray in our life. We miss your gentle kind spirit, and your wonderful laughter.

Happy Birthday Raymond J. I miss you so much I wish you were still here with us. We think about you all the time. We love you!! We know you are in Heaven with all the Angels. Please watch over us. Love you forever Janel

In my life you guided me, showed me compassion, loved me and were always there through everything I went through; good and bad. I know you have the biggest wings in heaven...for you are my "MR. WONDERFUL", my "Guardian Angel." I love you.♥♥♥♥

When I am gone, release me – let me go
I have so many things to see and do.
You must not tie yourself to me with tears
Be happy that we had so many years. I gave you love,
you can only guess, how much you gave me in happiness.
I thank you for the love each have shown,
but now it is time I travelled alone.
So grieve awhile for me if grieve you must,
then let your grief be comforted by trust
It is only for a while that we must part
so bless those memories within your heart.
I will not be far away, for life goes on.
so if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you cannot see or touch me, I will be near
And if you listen with your heart, you will hear
All of my love around you, soft and clear.
Then when you must come this way alone,
I will greet you with a smile and “Welcome Home”
When I Am Gone – By Unknown Poet

I feel so blessed to have know such a warm, sweet man. You will be missed.

I consider knowing such a wonderful, Godly man, a true blessing! Patient, loving, kind, compassionate, generous, and wise. A gentle spirit whom I love as my brother!

I love you Grandpa and miss you terribly. I don't know what we're going to do without you but I know you are happy and in a better place. I will always be your "Brown Eyed Girl" I will always think of the beautiful memories we had and all the talks we'd have. Grandpa my heart is crushed, but I am trying to be strong for you. I know you don't want us to be sad. Grandpa you are such a beautiful person everyone loves you.
