Francis W. Hamilton Sr. was my Grandfather and best friend. He will always be in my heart and I hope that now he is at peace. He was very special. He brought much joy to those lives he touched. He was a simple man, untainted by pretentious and superficial factors that affect so many people. I will always remember the smile he gave everytime he entered a room. He was the only father I have ever known and he would always refer to me as "The Little Princess," even though he always treated me like a queen. At this time, I would like to offer my regret and sorrow. His existance will never be forgotten, and the wonderful memories will always be a dominant part of my life. Grandpa, you will be greatly missed. I love you.
