Grandpa Jim,
From all the stories I hear and as a witness to all the love your family has for you, I can see what a beautiful mark you have left on this world and on the heart on each person that was privileged to know you.
May God welcome you into His kingdom with open arms, and give peace to your family as they wait with expectation to be with you again in paradise. Amen
