It's been three years since your passing, and it's still crazy weird without you. Trips to Florida are a little lonely, but aren't awful. Linda still misses you a lot, so does Dad, and myself. I love you Grandpa, and I wish you were still here to see my graduate at the start of June. Pass me your courage to walk up to the stage to get my diploma, okay? You'll always be in my heart.

Love,
Your granddaughter, Markie
