If Tears Could Build a Stairway
If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane
We would walk right up to Heaven and bring you back again.
No farewell words were spoken, No time to say “Goodbye”
You were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why.
My Heart still aches with sadness, and secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you, No one will ever know.
But now we know you want us to mourn for you no more.
To remember all the happy times Life still has much in store.
Since you’ll never be forgotten, We pledge to you today
A hallowed place within our hearts is where you’ll always stay.

The most selfless & caring man you’d ever meet. He worked so hard to give Grandma a beautiful life & in turn gave so much love to each & every one of us. I will miss his loud laughter & tight hugs more than anything. Love you Grandpa, this Christmas & every Christmas here on out will never be the same without you.

What a great person to go at such a memorable time of year. All the christmases all the family get togethers, all the holidays, were always better with grandpa around. He cared for us all so much. The thing I’ll miss the most is the big ol’ hugs I’d get every time I seen him.
Love you grandpa.
