Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush, I am the swift uplifting rush, Of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die. (Mary Elizabeth Frye – 1932. )Our wonderful Papa taken from us, his light may have gone out but his love and memories will live on in our hearts forever. With all our eternal love xxxxxxxxxxxx. ‘Ce n’est qu’un Au Revoir. ‘

If I could write a story, It would be the greatest told, Of a kind and loving grandfather, Who had a heart of gold. Throughout the years, he’d always been, A wonderful man you see, When I was small he took the time, To bounce me on his knee. I could write a million pages, But still be unable to say, Just how much I love and miss him, Every single day. So many times in our life, You’ve helped to get us through, I’m so glad God’s given me, A grandfather just like you. To our Papa, you are the best and we will miss you every day.
