29. I'm so sorry for your loss

My grandmother was 90 and ready to go, but she could have been 400 and I wouldn't have been ready. She was the best person I ever met and gave me my values. I can totally relate to your grief, and you will be in my thoughts.

Peace to you.

[benburch]

32. I'm so sorry to hear you your loss!

I lost my maternal grandfather at age 89, and, really, if he had lived to 110 it would have been much too soon.

[Maddy McCall]

33. Jeff, losing a grandparent is a very tough thing to go through.

:hug: :hug: :hug: I'm sorry about what you're going through right now. :hug:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

34. Sorry to hear that.

[In_The_Wind]

[GoddessOfGuinness]

[u4ic]

42. Sincere and heartfelt condolences, Jeff

He sounded like a wonderful man...one that a young child would idolize, and one an adult would aspire to be. :hug:

[rockymountaindem]

43. My condolences

He sounds like a great guy

[LaurenG]

45. I am so sorry

I remember how hard that is.:hug:

[Nikia]

46. I am sorry for your loss

Losing a grandparent is tough. I lost my grandfather almost 2 years ago. We sometimes forget how long they lived before we were born. In your grandfather's case, 101 years is a long time to live. Without advances in that realm of science, one cannot hope for too many years beyind that.

[Liberalynn]

47. Dear Jeff

My sincerest sympathies to you and all your family.

[newyawker99]

48. I send my condolences to you and your family.

May your grandfather rest in peace.


:hug:

[nini]

49. My deepest sympathies

[tiddlywinks]

52. I'm real sorry to hear about your loss

I was reading this and it just made me cry! My condolences to you and your family through this difficult time.

[NashVegas]

53. So Sorry

He must have been very very special to all of you. His memory will be too.

:grouphug:

[laurelbunny]

54. sorry

I'm really sorry Jeff . It must be hard to lose someone that special.:nopity: :cry: :hug:

[miss_american_pie]

55. I'm sorry for your loss

:hug:

[DainBramaged]

56. He had the chance to see the best and worst of mankind

the answers and questions, and the problems and solutions in nearly 5 generations from his. I hope is passing was peaceful, and I hope you never forget him. Having had the opportunity to know someone that old and to have talked to them is a gift unto itself.

11 kids. Wow, an amazing capacity in itself and to still have left the impression he did on you. I am envious. :toast:

[Cathyclysmic]

57. Sorry about your loss

:hug:

[Wcross]

58. I miis my Grandfather too....

My maternal grandfather died at 98 years old, I knew it was coming and it was no suprise when he passed. I still teared up like a baby when I carried his body to the hearse.
There is no person born who will not die. Your sadness at his passing is his gift to you. He made a difference in your life.
My thoughts are with your grandfather as he moves to the other side of this life.

[SammyWinstonJack]

59. Long life and RIP.

:hug: for you.

[mtnsnake]

60. My most sincere condolences, Jeff

Sounds like he was a great person, and it's nice that you think so much of your grandfather like that.

[yellowdogintexas]

61. awww. my deepest hugs and sympathy. I still miss mine and he

died in 1966.

My last grandparent died at 102 a couple of years ago. I miss her too but in a different way.

62. Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
(Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!)

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am the song that will never end.
I am the love of family and friend.
I am the child who has come to rest
In the arms of the Father who knows him best.

When you see the sunset fair,
I am the scented evening air.
I am the joy of a task well done.
I am the glow of the setting sun.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!


(With deepest sympathy)
goodboy and goodgirl
