    I just want to say how blessed I am to have a grandpa like he was He was one of a few that I have never heard him speak unkindly of someone. Whenever I would go visit him, I always came away with such a good, peaceful feeling inside& a "right spirit". It's hard to explain, but he was so positive & grateful for everything no matter how bad it seemed. He always thought of other feelings & didn't want to worry them with the little things. He found contentment in all the different placements he experienced this last year. He is one of my role models that I will always remember & will cherish our love for each other. I will miss that piece of heaven that I felt & saw in him. But I will always remember those wonderful hugs & kisses. I love him very much & know many were also blessed to have him as part of their lives also.
