Jana and family,
My condolences on the loss of your grandfather. I pray the Lord will strengthen you and the family at this time. I recently lost my cousin Mike on Monday, so I know where you're heart is; but He will lift us during the times of grief.

God saw you getting tired
when a cure was not to be.
So he wrapped his arms around you
and whispered "come to me".
You didn't deserve what you went through,
so he gave you rest.
God's garden must be beauriful,
he only takes the best.
And when I saw you sleeping,
so peaceful and free from pain
I could not wish you back
to suffer that again.
I love you Grandpa.
