The memories will stay, it's all I have. They will be in my mind and stay the same. Those are mine to keep and will be replayed every day. Remembering you is easy, always Grandpa Santa to my boys, always daddy to me. Missing you is a heartache that'll never go away. Family and friends, he's in our hearts, forever he will be. We will all miss you, daddy, Especially me. ~Courtney Thiel
