I called you Grandfather right from a little girl and this never changed over the years. One of the first men in my life I loved and who loved me unconditionally. (this much and a little bit more). I used to see your eyes sparkling and now I look to the heavens and see you sparkling there at night time. You were a very talented man not just as a Grandparent but as a musician. Your love for God outstanding and this reflected in the way you lived your life and loved your family, especially Nanna, right til the end. A testament to marriage. Always in my heart now and forever. XX
