Good-Bye Grandpa...we love you and will miss you!


This past week was very tough for our family, because we lost Grandpa Dressler. Grandpa was an amazing man who lived a wonderful life. I have SO many memories of time out on the farm with Grandma and Grandpa and will cherish every memory! I will remember all of the countryside drives, watching the Lawrence Welk show with him, eating lunch with him on hot summer days when he came in from the fields.
Grandpa lived to the age of 88, and if that isn't amazing enough, he and grandma would have celebrated their 63rd wedding anniversary yesterday. He and grandma were so supportive and proud of their family. They came to almost every sporting event, every graduation, Jas and I's wedding, whenever we needed their support they were there.

We love you very much Grandpa and will miss you greatly, but we are at peace knowing you are watching over us and smiling down on us. Good-bye Grandpa.

(This was an amazing poem that one of my dad's friends made for him. Jason put this amazing background on it so dad can hang it on his wall.)
