My short time with my Great Papa

Yesterday Ava's Great Papa Burke passed away peacefully surrounded by his family. Papa lived a great 75 years (2/26/1932-12/21/2007). Ava got to say goodbye to her Papa on Thursday and thus this is when the picture below was taken.While Ava was holding his hand, she was smiling and he told her he loved her!!!!!

We love you Papa and miss you already. Have a great Christmas this year in Heaven!!!
