Grandpa, you will surely be missed. You always had a warm smile and a welcoming demeanor for everyone that crossed paths with you. The visits we had were never long enough but were very enjoyable never the less. I want to thankyou for passing down the gift of music and the wisdom that comes with age and experience. Amber remember's you being very loving and accepting toward her and for always having an endless supply of hugs whenever we needed them. The memories of you will be in our hearts always. I am sure you're looking down on us and saying " I know you all miss me but I can't wait till you guys make it up to heaven and see how amazing it truly is, looking foreward to eternity." You will get to see your great grand-daughter, Shayna, and get her music skills jumpstarted so she can be in the family band. Give her a kiss for us. Thankyou and we love and miss you so much. All our prayers go to the family members that were touched by you.
Love Always,
"Big" Ed, Amber, and Eddie jr. Casilla
