  26. To our dear Pop,

    You are such a loved and special Pop to the four of us.

    You were in our lives every day and the memories we have growing up with you in Winslow will always be with us.

    We are so grateful for the values you instilled in us, the moments we shared, and the love and time you gave us. Thank you, Pop, for always looking after us and being our number one supporter.

    We will miss you immensely, forever.

    Love your granddaughters, Aylish, Shinae, Jessika and Inika

    Now that you are gone from our lives, a life-time of memories with you, all of them good, will fill the void. You loved us, and you will be loved by us profoundly, always.

    Love, Gabrielle and Scott
