"This really hurts. You use to take me for walks in Cal Park, just me and you. You brought me around your buddies, and we played bocce ball together. You use to bring me to Lido for hair cuts. You carried this entire family on your back at one time or another. You really were a load bearing wall to this family. I hope one day I can become even half the man you were, and will always be remembered as. I’m so sorry you’re not getting the service you wanted, and deserve, but you will be honored and your memories cherished forever. My Grandpa > Everybody elses grandpa!"
