Granddad - by Adam Luellman Growing up you were always there, Each and every day showing me that you cared. After school, you spent the time day after day, Listening to every word I had to say. Each moment we spent together Will be special to me forever. God told me something I needed to know, You watched over me while you were here And I know you will watch over me from up there. Please always know I love you And no one can take your place Years may come and go But your memory will never be erased Today, Jesus, as You are listening In your home above Would you go and find my Granddad And give him all my love. I will always LOVE YOU Granddad. MacKenzie Funeral Home, Stonewall in care of arrangements.
