Growing up, you were my guidance, my inspiration. You were the pillar of strength and wisdom that often kept me going. Now that you're in a better place, not only do you continue to be all these things, you have become a guardian angel to me and your great-grandson as well. I know that wherever you are now, the grass is freshly cut, the bird-feeders are hung, and you're sitting outside in a rocking chair, sipping your cup of coffee like always. You're strong as an ox and healthy as a horse once more. Rest in peace, forever in our hearts.
