Hey Papa!!! For whatever reason you and Granny are on my mind heavy tonight and I just wanted to say hello. Babygirl is 14 now and I can’t believe just how beautiful she is. You’d be tickled pink at how precious she is. She’s the best person I’ve ever known Papa. I can’t believe I have a 14 year old daughter. I promise you I always speak about how you are the best man I’ve ever known. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about you and talk sooo highly of you. Thank you for being the best man I’ve ever known in my life. You’ll always be my hero. I love you and miss you everyday. ❤️❤️

Oh wow.. How long it has been. I miss you more and more everyday! Recently Aunt Millie joined you in Heaven.. Hows that? Im so happy she has her favorite people to celebrate Heaven with. You dont have any idea just how much you could meet my little girl, and give her those famous Papa Nate hugs and kisses. We talk of you often, sometimes more than not. She knows exactly who you are and just how much you mean to me. You were and will always be my hero! I love you!

Hey Papa Louie! How are ya? Much better I am sure. hehe.. Oh man I miss you so much. I wish you were here so you could meet my little girl... Shes the most beautiful thing in the world.

Wow seems like forever that you left... I try not to think of it... I just try to remember all of the good times and i try to think of how happy you are to be w/ granny and God. Sean has been talking w/ me lately about Him. I didnt know there was so much i didnt know about Him. Anyway... I just wanted to say I love you and miss you SOOO very much! I miss you Papa... soo much... Granny too... I wanted you 2 to live forever w/ me. I wanted to be able to take care of you and granny at my own home... i hope I did enough to make both of you proud of me b/c I know that I was so very proud to have grandparents like you n granny. I love you both.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Hey Papa Louie. I still cant believce your gone. Its been about 6 days that you left us. It feels like just yesterday. In a way I am happy that youre in Heaven seeing Granny but in a way I wish you were still here w/ us so we could hear those jokes you always told us or show us that Papa Nate face just 1 more time. You were the best Grandpa a girl could ever ask for and remember IF ANYONE ever tells you to look at sumthin you say YOU LOOK AT IT! haha... I love and miss you SOO much.
