Although my Granddad has left this world, his essence lives in all who know kindness, generosity and love. I know he is waiting for and is watching over ALL whom he has loved. I miss him so much but am comforted to know that he is now part of that perfect “peace” he so deserves. I am honored to have been his granddaughter and hope to carry on all of those very special qualities that touched the hearts of so many. I love you forever, Granddad.
Dear Graham, Ed and Jane, I just received the email about your Father’s Passing. This picture has his heartwarming smile I will always remember. I treasure the picture Jane sent me of your parent’s wedding in 1948. All of your family will be in my heartfelt thoughts and prayers for peace and strength each day. Rest in Peace Cousin Jack.
