Although time has set us apart, you always have remained in my thoughts and in my heart.  I never got to thank you for remaining a true friend to my mother when my parents seperated.  I think it would have been even more traumatic had she lost her extended family as well.  I would always get so excited to go on a trip with Dad to your little house in thomaston.  I always loved to hear the cards slap together against the wooden table as you dealt them.  Most of all I loved your sense of humour and your laughter.  You reminded me of Nana so much.  I am happy that you leave this world in peace.  I know Nana and Grampy are giving you a big hug right now.  I love you.
