Grandad... It is with a heavy heart that I wish you well on your journey back to Nana's arms. You were the perfect couple and it gives me great comfort to imagine your reunion! You lived your life with a positivity rarely seen. Each day a blessing and another opportunity to spread your love. Your smile lit up a room and your genuine warmth and care for your family and friends was deeply felt by us all. Go in peace and love Grandad, knowing there is a piece of you in each and every one of us. Love always and forever, Deb. xx
