Grandma Lorraine,
I am sincerely sorry for the loss of Poppa Billy. I wish the past could have happened differently. No matter what, I'll always remember the happy times we all had together. Poppa Billy was a wonderful grandfather and I was blessed to have known him and to have had him in my life. But I also know he was a wonderful father, husband, friend, and doctor. Not even those 4 things begin to express who he was. Everyone will remember him for how he touched our lives. Remember that he will always be in your heart.
Love,
Michael
