You had many things to say, All in a caring way. You always saw good in everyone, No matter what they've done. You were always the one we could all lean on, Even though it must have felt like a ton. You were always the strength of the family, Now we must let you rest calmly. As we say goodbye, As tears roll down our eyes. I know your place in Heaven has a good view, Because you're telling God I need to keep an eye on few. I know you will always be in our hearts and mind. So Grandpa Kibby I must go, but I'll never forget you're one of a kind. We love you. Family Owned and Operated Knysh Funeral Chapel 582-0973
