Pop, I L❤️VE and miss you SOOOO much and I wish you were still here so you could see how GREAT your favorite team, your EAGLES are doing! I hope you have the BEST seat in the house now! I miss hanging out with you, taking you over my friend's houses for parties and BBQS, everyone used to wonder why... because you were one of us! You brought more life to the party! You were the life of the party! We had our ups and downs through the years and I know I made it hard sometimes but we ended up so close and you ended up spending the most time and hanging out with me and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way or changed it for the world! So much fun and so many good times we had! I almost couldn't even believe it but I'm SOOOO glad we ended up that way! I still think about you each and every day and one of the last things you wanted to do was to take me, Caitlin and your gorgeous great granddolls out to eat, sadly and unfortunately you started failing and deteriorating so quickly it was not meant to be but I made sure I told them all that was all you kept talking about and we all remember the times you DID take us out for breakfast, lunch or dinner! I'll never forget the time in Nifty Fifty's when Cami was only about two years old and she kept walking down to you at the end of the booth and taking your hat, then bringing it back, putting it back on, then taking it again and bringing it back and putting it back on and she must've done it nearly a half a dozen times and it was so cute and you loved it and thought it was so funny and it definitely was! I wish you were still here to enjoy them and I know you would be SOOO proud of all of them! I always said I wanted you to live to see the Eagles win the Super Bowl and I was SOOO happy you did and I know you saw them win one again last year and I hope and pray we do again this year and I like to think it has to do with you being up there putting in a good word! L❤️VE and miss you my party pal! (I know everyone was JEALOUS!) 😂😂😂 I know more than one of your other kids asked WHY IS HE ALWAYS HANGING OUT WITH KATE? POPPY'S OUT WITH KATE AGAIN? I KNOW IT'S BECAUSE I WAS YOUR FAVORITE! 😂😂😂❤️😘 L❤️VE and MISS you SOOOO much P❤️P😇, your FAVORITE, Kate. XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
