In loving memory...

October 3, 2011 was Grandpa Madsen's birthday. He pasted away on April 14, 2009. He was my favorite grandpa. I remember he took me to Build a Bear for the first time, I made a black bear that he picked out. I didn't know what to name it, I asked grandpa what animal it was and he said it was a black bear, I named it Bear. He helped do the paper work on it. When we got back home I pulled it out of the box and played with it with my grandpa. We then later sat on the kitchen floor to learn how to play Jacks. We played for hours with him laughing and chasing balls down the stairs and just enjoying ourselves. I miss you grandpa and I love you! Can't wait to see you again. And, Happy Birthday.
