This is such a wonderful idea and a great memorial.
I lost my grandpa almost two years ago now. He was a very kind man who always was trying to tell a joke and make people laugh. He was nice to everyone and all the waitresses at the restaurants around where he lived knew him. He would always say nice things to them and leave them great tips. He was a very frugal man and he only ever bought just exactly what he needed and never spent a penny on anything other then that. The thing that I really regret was that he lived very close to me and many many times I just drove write by his apartment and never stopped to visit. I was always to busy with my own life. About a month before he died I met my fiance. I told my grandpa all about him, and I couldn't wait for them to meet. My grandpa had alzheimers disease and it was progressing rapidly in his last days. They never got to meet but I will always remember my grandpa's kind brown eyes looking at me and telling me he was so happy for me. I wish so badly now that he could see me get married and I know he would have loved my soon to be husband. I miss him dearly.
He is just one of many family members I have lost. Maybe I will share some of their stories in the future.
