Grandpa you will be remembered in our hearts forever! With God if where you are - a blessing to have you an angel in our lives. We know you have now joined many that are watching over Zak and Callie.
When ever Zak is playing by him self and starts to giggle we ask him who is playing with him. We typically say names of those that have passed and played such and important role in our lives. Today Zak was giggling playing alone on the mat. Although he was not alone at all. I asked him if he was playing with Grandpa Striegel and I have never heard him giggle so loud. This happened 3 times. Thank you Grandpa for coming to watch over us! We love you!
