Remembering Grandpa




This picture was taken last summer when Matt, Angie, Stef and I went to visit Grandpa and Lee.

Grandpa definitely had a way with making you feel welcome... no matter who you were. I think Susan stated it perfectly when she said he made her kids feel like they were his own grand kids right from the beginning. Stef lost her last Grandparent 15 years ago and Grandpa made her feel like she was one of his own right from the start.

Every time we think of Grandpa a smile comes to our faces. From his infectious laughter to his eternal sense of optimism and his incredible faith we will always remember the last time we spoke... he said how proud he was of all us Kohl kids and how it made him feel when he talked with us and about us to other people.

We love you Grandpa and will miss you incredibly. Lee, you are in our thoughts and prayers. Thank you so much for everything you have given to our Grandpa and the way you have been able to fill in perfectly as our Grandma Lee.
