My heart is heavy with the loss of my wonderful grandfather. I will never forget your warm greeting smiles as a child or the way you were beaming with joy at my wedding last year! It meant the world that you and grandma made the trip to Florida to celebrate that day with me and welcome Trevor into our family. I will cherish all of our memories forever and keep you in our hearts! We love you and your presence will be missed, until we meet again.
- Jessica, Trevor, & baby Isaac
