You'll be forever in our hearts Grandpa. Love Jenifer
It breaks my heart that I can't be there with my family and wish I could so badly. Grandpa Sugar was the light of our lives, he knew how to make us laugh so hard. He loved big and saw nothing but the greatest in people. I will miss hearing him tell me how proud he was and how much he loved me,I will miss his hugs and break out dances, I will especially miss his smile and laughter. I'm so blessed to have so many vacations spent with him as well as our family nights on Mondays & Tuesdays. I'm so blessed that my children got to share the same joy as I did growing up. He will forever be my sons Guardian Angel.
I love you Grandpa Sugar and will miss you more then anything.

I"m sure that dad is enjoying his reunion with Grandpa, Grandma, Helen and Garland in heaven. Someday we will all be together again. Until then, he knows that I loved him.

He wasn't a hero,
Known to the world.
But a hero he was,
To this little girl.
My daddy was God,
Who knew all things.
And better than Santa,
With the gifts he'd bring.
I knew his voice,
Before I could speak.
And loved it when,
He would sing me to sleep.
He changed my diapers,
And sat up all night.
When my body was weak,
And I'd put up a fight.
He'd come home late,
With not much to say.
And made us all kneel,
As he taught us to pray.
He taught me life's lessons,
Of right from wrong.
And instilled in me values,
That I might be strong.
And so through the years,
Like a hero he stood.
Working to give,
All that he could.
His presence was important,
And we loved to see him smile.
For no one in the world,
Could emulate his style.
And so dear Dad,
My best memory to recall.
Was the gift of your presence,
The greatest gift of all.
I love you to the moon and back!
With all my heart Denise
