"I am so heartbroken. Grandpa was and Grandma still is the most influential people in my life. They taught me how to always give 100% of myself in everything I do, be giving and show love. It is hard to imagine my life without him right now, but he taught me to be strong. I owe it to him to mourn for this devastating loss, but then pick up the broken pieces of my heart and live my life as he and Grandma taught me. Grandpa, I will see you again someday in heaven and you can eat your onion sandwich and I can eat my ketchup sandwich. I love you and miss you terribly. Love, Heather "
