THIS WOUNDERFUL MAN WAS THE ONLY GREAT GRANDDAD I EVER KNEW. HE WAS ALWAYS KIND AND WELLING TO DO ANY AND EVERTHING FOR US. THIS GREAT MAN WAS ALWAYS HAPPY AND BECAUSE OF THAT HE MADE THE FAMILY HAPPY. WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT MY GREAT GRANDDAD WAS IN THE HOSPITAL I DIDN'T WANT TO GO BUT 1 DAY BEFORE HE DIED SOMETHING SAID,GO SEE YOUR GREAT GRANDDAD CAUSE YOU MAY NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN. SO I TOOK THAT ADVICE, AND WENT TO SEE HIM AND SPENT ALL DAY WITH HIM JULY 23,2004. AFTER SEEING THE WAY MY GREAT GRANDDAD LOOKED AND THE CONDITION HE WAS IN I CRIED IT ALL OUT THAT DAY. LATER THAT NIGHT THE DOCTOR TOLD THE FAMILY THAT IT
COULD BE ANY DAY THAT HE WOULD PASS,CAUSE THEY HAVE DID ALL THAT THEY COULD DO TO HELP HIM. JULY 24, 2004 I GOT A PHONE CALL AROUND 5:00AM FROM MY UNCLE SAYING THAT MY GREAT GRANDDAD HAD DIED. ALL THAT DAY I COULD NOT CRY CAUSE I HAD TO BE STRONG. BUT JULY 31 WAS THE DAY OF THE FUNERAL AND I COULD NOT HOLD MY TEARS ANYMORE. GRANDDAD I'M GALD YOU'RE IN A BETTER PLACE NOW. TELL EVERYONE I SAID HELLO AND KEEP WATCHING OVER THIS FAMILY. HOPE TO SEE YOU ONE DAY. LOVE YOU AND EVERYONE THAT WE HAVE LOST.
