Dear Grandad,
Its been 1 year 3 months since you passed and we all really miss you we try to look after nan and i know she misses you very much she often talks about you.
Tony Ray and Jeff really miss their dad .I think you were so brave at the end and i was so proud of you, you was the best grandad ever i used to love sleeping round on a saturday night and watching tv sitting on your back then you would give me a piggy back ride round the living room and tickle my feet.on a sunday morning you would take me to the park and you taught me how to ride a bike hope you are at peace all the grandchildren miss their lovely grandad it was such a sad day when you left us one that i would never forget but the first thing i thought of is at least he is in no more pain.
Love you grandad and although i never got the chance to say i know that you knew that i loved you.
your first grandchild
Bev
