Dear GG

Dear "GG",

We love you and are so happy that you are with Grandpa Sherrod now.  We are going to miss you so much.  We are going to miss all of those stories that you used to share; all of your story telling habits too - "I'll never forget" you would say holding up your index finger and shaking it, ever so slightly.  We will never forget, don't worry.  

We will never forget that you always let us come and stay with you, even on a whim.  We will never forget the sloppy joes you made us every time we visited.  We will never forget that you let Harrison watch his PBS kids, when we know how you loved your "Price is Right".  We will never forget that you held our babies and kissed them and loved them.  We will never forget that you remembered our birthdays, always.  We will never forget our last visit, perhaps our favorite, when we got to take you to your favorite restaurant.  We will never forget what a treat that was to us.  No, we won't forget.

We will never forget that you served a faithful mission.  We will never forget that you strived for and attained 100% visiting teaching every month.  We will never forget your stalwart Temple attendance.  We will never forget your  love of family history.  We will never forget that you have a strong, steadfast, belief in the Gospel of Christ.   We won't forget any of that. 

We will never forget you, GG.

Love,

Todd and Jennifer
