Although I did not know Mr. Grider personally, I knew how much he meant to you and how he touched your lives. He is in a better place now and one day the circle will be unbroken. DL's poem of August 15th is very beautiful and I know he is in her heart as well as all his family. You are blessed to have had quality time with him these last weeks. My deepest sympathy and prayers to the family during this grieving process.

Memories Of My Daddy

I feel a warmth around me
Like your presence is so near,
And I close my eyes to visualize
Your face when you were here,
I endure the times that we spent together
And they are locked in my heart,
For as long as I have memories
We will never be apart,
Even though we cannot speak anymore
My voice is always there,
Because every night before I sleep
I have you in my prayer.

I love and miss you each and everyday.
Your Daughter Debbie.
