My Grandpa was the best Grandpa anyone could ever ask for! I saw him take his last and final breath, and I'm very glad i did, so i could see that he was no longer in any pain nor suffering. We all had so many great memories with him that will forever be in our hearts. He will be missed by all of us. Someday I will see him in heaven. We love him very much! Sammi Radke03/04/2010 3:46 PM
