Grandfather Funeral Speech
© Jaimey Perham 01/24/2008
Strong and stubborn a patriot is put to rest today
Never silent on his beliefs and where he stood
On issues that occupied his heavy hearted mind
A family man who lived life according to his own values
A man who lived a full and long steady life
Loved by many by those who surrounded him
At some times we saw strain and frustration
But this only a mask to a deeper caring face
Only shown when his guard was down
In later days a more gentle man expressed
A deep love for his beloved wife who is now with him
We lost a one of a kind true American family man this week
Rest in peace, my friend, my grandpa, our grandpa, our father
God be with you
God speed to you
God speed…
A beautiful tribute to your Grandpa, my Grandparents are gone also, but very much alive in my heart.
Blessings to you,
Linda+
