Dearest "Gramps",
We thought you would live forever and you will -- in our hearts and memories.
Some of your "famous" quotes...
"WE'RE OKAY, ARE YOU OKAY?". You will always be the "BEST IN THE WEST". "YES INDEED" -- Don't forget to ask for your "CUP OF TEA and your PORRIDGE -- TASTES LIKE MORE..."; "SAY NO MORE" -- "SEE YOU IN CHURCH" before you're lifted up to Heaven. You'll Never Be "GONE WITH THE WIND" in our hearts...
We LOVE YOU GRAMPS and we will MISS YOU...
