View all 27 ReflectionsThinking of you so much lately Les. I miss you so much. Our 4 grandchildren are amazing and as you know Shannon has been a Police Officer since he got out of the Marines. He always wanted to be like you. So proud of him as with all of them. We have 2 great-grandchildren also. 4 & 8. They know all about you. I see them often and it's nice but then I come home to an empty house again and that's sad for me. Remembering you because "Love is Forever"
