"Grandma & Grandpa Poodletail" Ryan Your Grandma & I enjoyed having you come stay with us down on the farm. We always got up with the chickens. We didn't need an alarm. You were such a sweet Grandson who never caused anyone no harm. Grandma Poodletail always said I had pretty blue eyes that lit up the skies. She also said I had great charm. I'm glad I was able to make the trip to attend your High School Graduation. I wish I could have said "CONGRATULATIONS". Do you & Brandon have an x-box 360 or a play- station? We loved you Ryan, "HAPPY GRADUATION". I hope you liked the present that I gave you. Your Grandma Norma was there celebrating with us too. She was standing right next to you. She & I visit you kid's dreams every night. We still love our ice cream, it's out of sight! We enjoy every bite. We can have it 24-7 day or night. I know how hard it was for you to see your Grandma go. Thank-you for the stuffed animals, it gave me something soft to hold. Your Grandma Norma & Grandma Phillips both had a "HEART OF GOLD". It wasn't any fun to grow old. Now I have her hand to hold. Up here in heaven you can't even catch a cold. Do you like the song, "YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE"? Your Grandma & I used to sing that to you when you were small. I had no choice but to turn my back and leave it all. I heard your Grandma call. When you get to heaven we'll see you again. Just ask for "Grandma & Grandpa Poodletail", and Marge's Dad will let you in. He was my very Best Friend. Good-bye Ryan until we meet again. Love, "GRANDMA & GRANDPA POODLETAIL" 07/12/05 10/18/06 XOXOXO Poem by: Marge Hillgartner Don & Norma's Niece
