Farewell :

In life we are given angels
Some shower us with love
Some teaches us wisdom
Some shield us from harm.

Others guide us through the doorway of life
For every angel 
For every blessing
For every victory
We owe a word of thanks.

To my  special angel
Thank you,
You have been my pillar
My strength, my guide
An inspiration.

My memories of you will always make all my tomorrows bright
Your words will always have a way of making all my days turn out just right
You are one of those special people that made a great impact in my life.

Part of who I am is because of you
My gentle nature 
My humble soul
My willingness to do good
My persistence to achieve
Is a reflection of who you were.

Granddad there are not enough of words to describe my lost
For me you will always be that rose without a thorn
That petal that never withers 

You are that star that shines bright at night
that watches over me.
