What a sweet and special man you are. It's only been a few days since you left this world, but you were taken from our family far too soon too soon. In these last few months of your life, you never knew how much you were loved and missed. We are all grateful to have known you, but mostly thankful for the love and joy you brought to our grandma. In all my life I never heard her giggle the way she did when the two of you would be sitting in the swing on the front porch. Thank you for your kindness, and sharing old war stories from your past. We will miss that. We never had a proper good bye, but we know you are in a better place now. It has been an honor to have you as a member of our family. May you continue to do great things as our Heavenly Father has planned, and may find joy in serving Him. Rest in peace, you will be missed, but never forgotten! Til we meet again...
