I just wrote on Grandma's page and it is your turn now! in 10 days, you would be gone for 2 years... that is CRAZY! I think about you every single darn day. What I would do to time travel back to the good ole days where Noah and I were kids and would always be playing at your house. Or the time Caeley, Alex, and I poked holes in your cigarettes and you were oh so angry (but had a good laugh at the end of the day) You never appreciate the time until it is all gone. It hasn't gotten easier knowing you and Grandma aren't coming back but I am looking forward to the day God decides it is time for me to come home and I will see you both once again. Always looking for you in the sunsets Grandpa. I love and miss you so much. Keep sending me signs from above <3.

Mr. Peterman was like a grandfather to me. Anytime he was around I always knew it was going to be a great day full of laughs. He was one of the nicest most genuine guys I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I’m going to miss Mr. Peterman. I can't even begin to express how my heart aches for his family and friends. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers.
