Pop, we thank you so very much
for being such a Good Righteous Man,
for loving us strong, and raising us right.
We love you and on THIS DAY WE HOPE YOU FEEL IT.
/ know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death.
They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we
make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint on our memories. We find
comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared
their love."
For all our lives, you've shown us by example how to live, and
encouraged us to trust the Lord above. For all our lives, you've guided
us with good grandpa advice, and always held us close to you in love.
Grandpa, thank you for all you have done in our lives and for loving
us unconditionally.
When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not here to see, if the sun
should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me. I wish so much
you wouldn t cry, the way you did today, While thinking of the many
things we didn 't get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as
I love you, and each time you think of me, I know you 'll miss me, too.
But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand, that
Jesus came and called my name, and took me by the hand; and said my
place was ready in heaven far above, and that I'd have to leave behind
all those I dearly love. So when tomorrow starts without me, don't
think we're far apart, for every time you think of me, I'm right here in
your heart.

We Love You,
Your Grandchildren & Great Grandchildren
