We loved Cewin. He was so kind, fun and intelligent.  He lived a great life and loved his family fiercely.  His laugh was the best. Rest in peace Cewin. 

Fred  and Janice Mink and family 

Finding words to summarize one of the most important men in my life is tough. I know how lucky I am to have had a Papa (and Grandma)  who I truly enjoyed being with. When I was little he carried me in a backpack baby carrier on beach walks. He took me swimming everyday, on the Jolley Trolley, to the park, the fire station and the library any time I asked. I don’t ever remember him telling me “no”. He has always been there for me in every bit of my life, and he made sure that I knew it. 

I will never stop honoring him. I’ll talk about him often, enjoy my family and friends, travel to places he would appreciate, and do my best to keep making him proud in so many ways. 

I miss him terribly already.  I can still hear him say “I love you, Brookie. You are my girl”.  

I’m so happy for him… that he is happy and whole again with Grandma, Wendy, Donnie and Daisy and so many family and friends up in Heaven. He was ready to go and the fun was gone. Day to day life was hard as his body grew tired and weak, yet his mind was still pretty sharp. He made sure we all knew he was ready and to not be sad for him. Instead, I am so sad for myself and the rest of us. I find comfort knowing he is with God in Heaven, and that I will see him again but for now I pray for hugs in my dreams each night and signs that he is with me. Rest In Peace, my Papa. ‘Til I see you again.
