Yesterday was a week since you've been gone. Today we are celebrating your life. It still doesn't seem real. I think we're all in a fog, just trying to laugh and think of the memories. It hurts so bad to know I'll never walk in that door and here "Hi, Marie", or hear you tease my boys, or get that birthday phone call, hear your laugh. I'll miss you telling me to quit "pickin' at that ear", or callin me cry baby fritzy 😂. I'll miss hearing you n Chris talk about fishing or his job. I know everyone of us are gonna miss that graden ... it was special to each of us in our own way. For me it was those cherry tomatoes you made sure to plant for me every year since I was little, then Ally, then Liam. I'll miss your worrisome nature lol, but don't worry you gave that trait to my dad 😉 I hope you're much more comfortable now. I hope you watch over our Simon bunch. ❤ I know Grandma is hurting, I know you're baby girl & your rotten boys are hurting. All of us grand kids & greats are hurting, all your siblings & family too, but we all have one thing in common, a great man watching over us every single day. I hope today is full of laughter and memories. You were the best grandpa in the world. I love you Rutabaga. 💙
