Back of Headstone: “Papa”

I guess we were too little to really understand where you have gone and why you cannot come back. But, Papa, we will always remember things we used to do, the times we went camping. We remember you, Papa, in your cowboy hat and the many hours spent sitting on your lap. Papa, we miss that special smile of yours. We will never forget. Mommy took us to a place with lots of flowers and big trees. She said that’s where you are, but we could not see. I guess we were too little to understand, but no matter how old or little, you will always be our special Papa.
