A Beacon of Hope
by Rachel Morris
A light of hope in darkness,
When waves crash along the shore.
You were like a lighthouse,
Now in peace, forevermore.
A guiding light, a beacon.
You embodied all that is good and right.
And you always knew how to care for your family,
Like a star guiding us through the night.
A strong, unwavering prescence.
You helped us to shelter life's storms.
And you would always go out of your way,
To make sure that we were all safe and warm.
A man well loved and respected.
A husband, father and then,
A grandfather turned great-grandfather.
A new time begins.
A time for hugs and kisses,
Of memories to share.
A time for remembering your life,
And how you will always be there.
You are always with us,
In spirit and memory.
And now you are in Heaven,
Sailing on the eternal sea.
Love,
your granddaughter Rachel

Granddaddy, you will be greatly missed. I am so lucky to have been blessed with a grandfather like you and I love you so much. I am so proud to have you for my grandfather and truly admired and respected you. There is a void in our hearts now, that will only be filled when we are all together again in Heaven. I know this is not goodbye, as I will see you later someday and wait for the day when we can all be together again.
With Love,
Rachel
