-from Nikkol-

My Grandpa was a wonderful man. He was full of wisdom and great knowledge. I am very fortunate to have had my Grandpa in my life for almost 36 years. He taught me how to love unconditionally, how to be compassionate and to be nonjudgemental. And best of all Grandpa taught me what family meant. I will always remember when I was growing up seeing both my Grandpa and Grandma at my choir concerts, they never missed a one! Grandpa loved music, especially live music sung by choirs. Because Grandpa knew so much about history, I was able to go to him for help with my homework when I was growing up. I loved listening to him and his life stories, they were absolutely amazing and so interesting! And how about when I went to LPN school then on to RN school...Grandpa was right by my side rooting me on. He was always very supportive of his grandchildren in everything we did.
"Grandpa, I know you will always be watching over me and the rest of the family. Your strength will keep us all strong. I really miss you. I am so thankful for the 36 (almost) years I had you in my life, you made a difference and you taught me so much. Grandpa, I feel comfort knowing that you are with God and that you are no longer in pain. I would rather you were here with us, but I know everyone has a time when our journey here on earth must come to an end. I look forward to the day when we will meet again in the Lord's Kingdom. Check on Daisy for me, I'm sure she came running up to you looking for food as soon as she saw you walking through the Golden Gates. And I know Snickers was right there waiting to hop in your arms and give you a licky! I love you, Grandpa and miss you, alot! As I promised, I will be sure that Grandma is taken care of and she will be okay."
You will be in my heart forever, Grandpa,
Your Granddaughter Nikkol
