My precious Grandpa

Early this morning Matthew's Grandpa Sumida passed away. Though we knew it was inevitable, it was so sad. We are very grateful that Matthew had a chance to get to know his Grandpa and had a precious relationship with him......we just wish it could have been for a longer time. They had a beautiful bond and Tom was an "extra special" person in Matthew's life. As you can see in these photos, they had a really sweet affection. Tom was a wonderful Grandpa and Matthew loved him dearly. Now it is up to us to make sure that Matthew always remembers their times together.

Grandpa, you are so loved and will be so missed.
