To my family:
It has been five months since we lost Pop
and I still think of him every day. I will never forget his laugh or his smile. His eyes would just sparkle so
when he laughed. That is what helps me through the bad days; remembering such good memories of how much we all have gained
from knowing both Nan and Pop. I miss them both so much some days but I know we will all share laughter in heaven
one day. I love you Nan and Pop. You are always in my heart. Love to my family
too. I have the greatest family in the world and you all make our world a better place! May you all be comforted
by the warm memories that we share as the Holidays approach!!!
Jennifer Heidecker
