Hey Pops,
My whole life you have always hugged me close, told me you loved me… and told every one around you to “eat your heart out”. You made us all smile, even now I smile thinking about all of the times you made me proud to be your granddaughter. Thank you for being who you are and raising some great kids- including the best dad in the world who reminds me of you. I love you Pops and will miss seeing you and talking to you. Until we meet again. <3

You made every single trip to Rhode Island brighter and I already miss hearing your voice. I love you so much. Hands down, you’re the best grandpa a grandkid could ask for. You’ll always be with me. <3 Michelle
