      My dear sweet Jace. I never saw your post about grand pop until today. My knowledge with my cell phone is limited and I was feeling sad today missing grand pop. So as I was rereading this on my phone I just noticed your comment from April of this year. That was so thoughtful of you to take the time to post your comment about your grand pop. You are a very sweet young man and please know I love you and miss seeing you. Tell your sister and little brothers I love them.
