Grandpa Texas

For those of you that don't know, my grandpa, Richard Arnold Sauter, passed away on February 9th. He had been sick with cancer for quite a while. He is my mom's dad. He was 65 years old. Here are some pictures, silly and serious, of him.
I love my grandpa very much and will miss him lots. But I know I will see him again. So goodbye for now, but not forever.

Your smile, again,
Will light up your face.
Your special laugh,
Will fill that whole place.
Someday I'll come,
To be with your grace.
But until then,
Your mem'ry embrace.
--Kate Nielsen

I'm just now finding this, Kate. What a wonderful tribute to your grandfather! I love the pictures, your words, and especially the poem. I'm going to print this out and put it in my scrapbook about him. With the same faith and testimony he had, we will see him again. Won't that be wonderful?!!
