Happy Birthday Grampa!

Happy, Happy Birthday to one of
my VERY, VERY favorite people.
93 years . . . what an accomplishment!
We are so glad that you are here
with us and thankful that we have
been able to be so very close all
of these years.

We are so thankful for your great
example and so glad that you are
so happy and healthy.
