Raymond! I am so sad you are gone and I didn’t get a chance to tell you goodbye. You were the best supervisor I’ve ever had and you always pushed me to reach for my goals. I love you old man and will never forget you.
1…2…3… squeeze.
A lot of us can’t find the words to say anything about you passing away because it was so sudden. I just think back to all those days hearing you say “hi sweetheart” with such a big smile on your face everytime you saw me. Oh grandpa I miss you & my heart aches like it has never ached before. I wish I could hear your voice again it feels like it’s been too long already. I know this isn’t goodbye forever it’s just until we see each other again. Make sure you still look down on us & be certain we are doing the right things in life because you knew what was best for everyone. I wish the world would just stop & let us all who are grieving catch our breathes because it’s not fair that you had to go & we have to live our lives without you. Make sure you give me the biggest hug when we meet again.
1…2…3… squeeze.
