Dear Cindy-
Your grandfather was a very special person and you will always hold him close to your heart. Please accept our prayers and condolences.

'God took the strength of a mountain, the majesty of a tree, the warmth of a summer sun, the clam of a quiet sea, the generous soul of nature, the comforting arm of night, the wisdom of the ages, and the power of an eagle's flight. Then God combined these qualities, there was nothing more to add. His masterpiece was now complete- he lovingly called it- grandfather'
