DAVIS, Ivan Robert:
A letter to Poppop.
They say there is a reason they say time will heal;
Neither time nor reason will change the way I feel.
Gone are the days we used to share, but in my heart you are always there.
The gates of memories will never close; I miss you more than anyone knows….
Love and miss you everyday.
Keep shining bright in heaven so you can light my way.
Until we meet again, Love Braden and Toni
