Always had change in your pocket for the candy store , always had a joke or two that made me laugh, the one I could go to and ask anything, a strong hand, but gentle heart, glad you knew I loved you. You were the one that inspired me. Four years, I miss you Papa Bear.....

I still have the little cat necklace you gave to me when I was a little girl. Although it is worn, it still holds the memories and love of that special day when you presented it to me.
