Dear Grandpa, you are such a wonderful soul so kind and charismatic.

You always had us in stitches when you burst out into a song or dance. Your inner child way will always remain in my laughter, my heart and soul!

I love you to the end of the earth and back again.

Keep shining up there.

Sleep tight, love you.

Why does my heart go on beating?

Why do these eyes of mine cry?

Don’t they know its the end of the world?

It ended when you said

‘Totseins my Vrou.’

Dad, you were the happiest, funniest and most kind man ever, always singing, dancing and joking about.

I’ll miss you forever, and forever in my heart.

Love you.

You did not want to leave us but you had no choice when you lost your fight against cancer, which you so bravely bore.
