Grant Family: Words cannot express the loss you are feeling right now, but with Pa’s memories and the love and support of your family/friends it will ease your burden…Pa was one of a kind and I will miss his smile as he was coming down the stairs and he would say well there’s my honey…and he always enjoyed the visits from Tasha & Brittney as he thought of them as his granddaughters…visits to the house will not be the same…may you keep his memory alive and and cherrish those memories…Pa is FLYING HIGH WITH THE ANGELS (and Ruth) FREE FROM PAIN…RIP Pa you will truely be miss by all….Willis & Corina XoXoXo

Here is a poem I found and I hope it will bring you all some comfort…

You can shed tears that I am gone
Or you can smile because I lived.
You can close your eye and pray that I’ll come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that I have left.
Your heart can be empty because you can’t see me
Or you can be full of Love that we shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember me only that I am gone,
Or you can cherrish my memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back,
Or you can do what I’d want…SMILE, OPEN YOUR EYES…LOVE AND GO ON!!!

Thinking of you all a this time of sadness. I had only the opportunity to spend a few visits with your Dad when Carolyn would take me along for a drive. He was a very sweet and friendly man and made me feel at home whenever I visited. I am sure he will be missed greatly by his family and friends. My prayers and thoughts are with you in this sad time.
