Dearest Granddad,
I am so honored to have known you. I made a special bond with you right away, you had such a spunk and kindness about you that was truly amazing. You always had a way of really listening to me, giving me your full attention and acknowledgment when I spoke. That made me feel like you were always genuinely interested in getting to know me or what I had to say and I am truly thankful for that.
Some of my favorite memories with you are of us hanging out and watching our shows together, snacking on pickles and leftovers. Listening to your stories and thoughts on things was a favorite of mine when we spent time together and I sincerly valued your company and enjoyed your wit, I will miss it. And of course no one could match your charm and I could see where Colin gets it from ;) he loved you so deeply and I appreciated knowing you through him.
One thing is always present when people talk about you and that is the fact that you are so kind and generous to so many and in such an open and excepting way and like many others you have given me more then you will ever know through your friendship, your grandson and your family, and for that I am forever thankful.
Basically Granddad, you were a stand up fella and anyone who got to know you is very lucky to have done so. You are cherished.
All my love,
Angela
