  • Grandpa, You have been in my mind a lot lately and showing up often. I miss you and so goes Grandma. You always told me how how talented I was, and I miss going up behind your chair while you were napping and flicking your face and then hiding while watching you confused- oh and I also loved messing up your hair and then taking your comb out of your pocket and combing it all stylish again. Thanks for always bringing Kyle and I into your bedroom to give us candies and chocolates and let us try on all your hats. After you passed, I could smell that hat smell and knew you were saying hi. I visited Grandma a few years ago and we cleaned off your grave and said hello. Grandma got all prettied up and we went to Chicken Chef for lunch. It was cute. You are very missed. Ps. I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl and I hope you will always keep watch over her with God. May "TREE" aka THREE forever be famous. Love always Carrie-Ann xo - Posted by: Carrie-Ann Klym (Granddaughter) on: Apr 23, 2022
