"At last, he rest." There are few men who possess more then a few qualities that make them a 'great man'. Your Pata, Dad, husband, and in my case, a gentle soul, who welcomed me with open arms and shared his love, had SO many of these qualities, that remembering him as a mere 'Great Man' doesn't seem enough.
The pain will fade, but your memories will always be with you.
May peace come to you swiftly.
My Love to all,
Dawn

My grandfather, my light....So strong when you many others would have weak, so graceful when so many others would have been clumsy. You mean so much to so many. You mean so much to me. I love you with all my heart and soul. I will miss you more than words can ever explain. To see you in peace after such a long fight has made my tears of sadness turn to tears of joy as I think of you only as the pata that was my partner in giving gramma a hard time and the best guy to call and talk to when I had a problem (which was often). I love you-
