"The father of three of my beautiful grandchildren, is gone. You will always be loved. Those beautiful sparkling blue eyes are closed to us and yet wide awake in heaven with our dear Katie. I know he will be in all of our hearts and souls forever. He will be another Guardian Angel looking down on his dear family. As Emma said "Dad is with Jesus now". So true. May God Bless You All. With Love from Nana"
