The news of your passing was nothing short of traumatic and was a devastating blow to me. You were more than just a grandfather to me. You became my dad, caring and providing for me before and after I lost my father at a very young age. You were my coach guiding me through life, watching my steps and making sure I walked on the right path of life. I took my first steps in front of you, you taught me how to count, how to be kind, how to be clean, how to be well dressed, how to be kind, how to play drive, how to play the piano, how to walk in the way of Christ, and the list can go on and on and on. You were truly a role model to me and the good habits you instilled in me are what I think of everyday as I grow and that has made me a better man today. Words can’t describe my love for you and how much I’ll miss you. You worked hard, went through tough times, you were a good and fair man, and although you didn’t get what you deserved all the time, you lived a good life. You were the best I ever had and the best I could ever ask for. I pray you rest peacefully in the blossom of the Lord and continue to watch over us forever.
Love You Forever,
