Pappy,
It's never easy saying goodbye to a loved one, but I know you're no longer suffering and are at peace and finally reunited with Grandma. I will cherish all the wonderful memories we shared: Christmas Eve at your house, my wedding day, picnics at camp, taking you to your appointments...and many more. You were well known by everyone, kinda like my dad, you say "Spider" and everyone knew him, just like I say Lawrence is my grandfather and they knew you. You will be missed by so many. You will live on through all the memories we all shared. Until we meet again.
Love your granddaughter, Holly
