Grandpa, I may have never had the privilege to meet you but you were never forgotten. We speak of you often. Although Grandma has joined you, your picture is now in my home. Both Mom and Uncle Otis favor you! Grandma nor my Mom have ever been able to recall your burial site. I hope to find you someday. I’ve loved you always.
