The memories of my father are wonderful and he will be missed in so many ways. We were apart by distance but together in so many other ways. We are in this life but a mere moment but will see each other in the eternities

Oh Mr. J. I'm so sad to see you go but so happy you're no longer suffering. My parents lived next door to you for over 20 years. You were like a bonus grandpa. I enjoyed hearing stories from when you were younger...oh and the story about the Monkey buried in the back yard. I wish so much that you wouldn't have forgotten us in the last few years...but I know you always knew we loved you because you trusted us no matter what. I love you and Juanita so much. Until we meet again...??
