An Extraordinary Grandpa
Grandpa, you’re extraordinary, and your life sends ripples of love and joy.
You’ve shown us gentleness and care, which teaches optimism when working with people. I am glad I saw you and know all you represent, and your lasting memories will be held forever.
An extract of your poem
“A Middle Bridge”
“What a glorious welcome!
Into His kingdom
Into the light divine,
In the light
Into the light of
Nevertheless-ever-more”
This isn’t goodbye, Grandpa; it’s till we see again. Love you.

LIFE WELL LIVED
Granddaddy lived well,
He gave us a precious gift.
of hope and strength and grace,
he made my world a brighter, better place.
He filled my life with moments,
a sweet life with smiles,
and good times shared,
and laughter through the years.
He taught me how to play golf,
inspired my mind to practice and devotion to my gifts from God.
Granddaddy lived a life of legacy,
of joy and pride and pleasure,
a living, lasting memory
my grateful heart will treasure.

We will miss your presence.
