With Fond MemoriesYou will be missed 
This one is for you Pep  Lawrence Beauvais December 20, 1907 - April 8, 1999
I am so glad that I grew up knowing my grandfather. He always had time for me. My biological Father has never been there for me. I never missed out on having a" Dad" cause "Pep" was always there for me. He would play with me and I have so many fond memories. I remember he had to be close to 60 years old and he pulled me on my sled around the block 3 times. To this day I can remember laughing and having so much fun. I bet he slept well that night. I remember on holidays he used to lay down and go to sleep after eating a large meal. I would cuddle next to him and rub his ear and I can still remember just how soft his ear was, I would fall asleep. 
What a joy it was when my sons where born. He did get to know all 3. I think to myself how lucky they are having to know him in their lives. He loved them as he loved me. April 6, 1999 was the last time I visited him. I knew it would be the last time I would see him. I lay my head on his pillow and asked if his ear was still as soft like I remember when I was young. I layed with him and rubbed his ear one last time. It is so hard to let go of someone you love, I know he wanted to be with my Grandmother terribly. I know that is where he is as I type. She has been gone for 25 years but he loves her and always will. I am glad I have witnessed such a strong and true love. He has been gone now for almost 2 hours and already there is this place in my heart that aches and misses him. I know he is with God now with no pain ...... and he is with the rest of my Family and he gave my Grandmother a big kiss from me. Rest in Peace Pep......I will love you Forever..... I'll see you again across the "Rainbow Bridge" this page was written......April 8, 1999 at 3:16 a.m. April 8, 2000, Today I was so depressed no matter how hard I tried to be happy, I just couldn't. I really just couldn't figure out why...then I realized today was the 8th. It all came flooding in....why I am so down. It is because never in my life will I feel the sweet unselfish fatherly love that you gave me. Deep in my heart, I realized just how much you once filled this empty space. I miss the love terribly, that sense of security it gave me. I miss you Pep!
