January 30th 2021 we gave my grandpa his last in home KISS concert! We didn't know then it would be his last, he went into the hospital just a week later and passed away 20 days after that. He was in amazement with the show we put on for him! Full on homemade costumes, my boyfriend actually playing guitar, confetti poppers, and so much more! My mom (his daughter), her fiance boyfriend, and me spent hours making everything perfect for him from costumes to face paint to him and my grandmas very own VIP KISS passes! My sister as the announcer and her boyfriend as security that ushered us in. He had no idea and was in absolute awe the rest of the night! We sang Shout it out Loud, went into God gave Rock and Roll to you, and finished with the star spangled banner so he could stand as we honored him being a Navy veteran. KISS brought so many wonderful memories to me and my family and this night will definitely go down in history! He was a true KISS fan, even had specially designed van sneakers with KISS on them and wore them until they couldn't be worn anymore! - Ashley Goss
