Hi everyone,
This will be short and brief because I am numb. My grandfather peacefully passed away tonight. I am trying to be joyful rather than sad because I know he is singing happily and is celebrating the wonderful life he had…
doesn’t that photo make you smile?His funeral will be either Thursday or Friday. More later…

I’m sorry to hear of the loss of your grandfather. Just said a little pray for you and your family. That picture is great, he looked like a very happy man.
[Reply]
I love you with all my heart and I am so sorry. You know I will be here for you. He is up in a better place singing to you to comfort you and look out for you. If only we could learn from him and just sing, our lives will be much happier. He will truly be missed.
I’m praying for you and the family
I love you.

I am so sorry to hear the news… but you are right, what’s done is done and it is time to celebrate his life, just like you know he is doing right now, too. The hardest part (or so I’ve learned from other relatives) is waiting to see what happens… as sad as the next few weeks will be, I always felt almost a sense of relief, because the worrying was over, and the relative had passed on and was no longer in any pain or misery. With a smile like that, it is obvious that your grandfather was so happy in his life!
[Reply]
I’m so sorry to hear that. My prayers are with you and your family.
[Reply]
I’m so sorry for your loss. Know that he is still smiling that same smile. Remember him that way.
