He was always so glad to see us, even when he felt horrible... and somehow always made me laugh and able to appreciate each day. <BR/><BR/>Even though mom and I were there for his last moments, and I'm glad that he wasn't alone, seeing him slip away will haunt me for the rest of my life. <BR/><BR/>And while he dug the TSO, it's the Manheim Steamrollers he really loved. He had a great taste in music-- until it came to Christmas!<BR/><BR/>Merry Christmas, Daddy.

My grandmother died right before I was born and I feel as though I know her, through all of the stories my mother told us about her.
