"GRANDPA"
G - never giving up on us until God made His call R - the respect th a t you got from not one....... but all! A " the angel th a t God sent down the day th a t you left me. N - the never ending laughs and the love th a t was never hard
to see. 0 - the days we spent together and the memories th a t will
last forever. P - the precious moments th a t we spent with you day in and
day out. A -All the love we will always have for you as daddy, husband,
grandpa, and friend.
You gave no one a last farewell, not even a sad good-bye; you were gone before we knew it and only God knows why.
