I miss talking on the phone. I love reading your cards and letters. There are so many conversations I wish we had and still have. There is so much I wish to type bc I wish I had said it and could say it now. I love you.

Mel will be missed. He was liked by everyone he met along the way. We played cards together on Tuesdays. I always loved to hear his laugh as he always had a smile and made all of us smile.

My grandfather helped to raise me and he was the greatest father figure in my life. He was someone that gave sound wisdom and advise when it was needed. He was loving and funny and he had a beautiful singing voice. He loved to sing karaoke any chance he could get. He had the biggest heart. He is somebody that is irreplaceable. I thank you so much for loving me and caring for me. One thing we never have enough of is time. I would give everything I own just for more time with you. As hard as it is to be apart I look forward to when we will one day meet again. In the meantime say hello for me to your mom and brother, uncle Kiki, my great-grandfather and my little baby in heaven. Continue to watch over us here on earth. I love you so much. Your Moe.
