I'm sure your Grandfather enjoyed his time with you as much as you did with him. The pain will pass with time, but cherish your memories forever.

> KellyR, I'm so sorry to hear about your grandfather! The poem you posted made me teary-eyed (just lost my mother last night). Hope the funeral went OK for you. I don't think my family are even having a funeral or any kind of service...which makes it easier in a way, but in a way, makes me feel incomplete. Love, CindyCindy, Sorry to hear that you lost your mother.
I geuss you can say goodbye in your own way, If there's going to be no service or funeral.You can always plant a tree that she loved in her name sake.
Just remember Death is not a period but a comma in life.
