Hi Grandpa,
I’m your great-great-granddaughter! I never forget the month of March. My grandma told me many great things about you! Wish I could have met you, I know I would have been the favorite! My grandmother Annette, she missed you so much and I loved hearing stories about you. She passed away in 2020 and I’m glad she’s finally reunited with you! We talk about you often & the stories we’ve been told. I’ve met some retired police officers who have said they’ve known you and or heard stories of you! They all said what a respectable great man you are. Looking back at photos my dad looks a lot like you and my little sister has your smile! It’s nice to see a little you in them.
