Tonight your book closes, but it will never close for me. Your always here with us and we know that you will always be. It will be 13 months on August 7 that I have lost my best friend, my sole mate and my husband. The most wonderful grandfather of all the kids that I will ever know. I miss and think about you everyday. I will love you forever.with all my love xoxoxoxoxox. Now we can close the book.

It was a sad day when we had to say goodbye to a wonderful man, father, husband and grandfather. We did not expect to say goodbye so soon but god took you for a reason. You left behind a lot of family who loved and cherished you and may you rest in peace until we meet again.

Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us everyday.
He will always be in your hearts..
