You were 94 years old.
You led a long, full life.
You served our country.
You met and married a sweet Italian lady and with the same lady you fathered 9 children.
You worked hard all your life.
None of your children ever went without what they needed.
I know when you left this earth on Wednesday night that you walked through Heaven's gate and Grandma was there waiting with a smile on her face and a huge plate of ravioli's.
I am a better person to have known you, Grandpa.
I love you and miss you.

I am certain your grandfather made the world a better place...I am sorry for you as your words show how much he meant to you.

A great tribute.
ReplyDeleteWonderful loving words, he has left a long loving legacy of family and will live on in all your hearts, until you see him again - he's enjoying the company of his wife.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for the loss of your grandfather Hesper. With your words I can tell he was a very special person and a most wonderful grandfather. You are a very lucky girl to have had him in your life.

ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry Hesper! I still miss my Grandparents so much (passed in 92 & 94). It's always a comfort to know that they're together again though! And we'll see them again one day too. (((hugs)))
ReplyDeleteSorry about your Grandpa, Hesper. I, too, miss my grandparents - my Grandmother mostly. She was such a force in my life. Your Grandpa I'm sure loves the wonderful tribute you wrote for him. Very sweet.
