In tears we saw you sinking,

We watched you fade away,

You suffered much in silence,

You fought so hard to stay.

You faced your task with courage,

You felt your hope descend,

But still you kept on fighting,

Until the very end.

God saw you getting tired,

When a cure was not to be,

So he put His arms around you,

And whispered, "Come with Me."

So when we saw you sleeping,

So peaceful, free from pain,

We could not wish you back,

To suffer that again.

John had a very caring and generous heart. He tried to do everything he could to make sure his family was taken care of, while he was alive and afterwards. He considered us family and even referred to my kids as HIS grandchildren. I was fortunate enough to spend his last Father's Day with him and learn some really interesting things from him. He will be missed and forever in our hearts.

Grandpa, we will miss you so much but we know you are watching over us. We love you!

My Dearest John, Thank you for the past 7 years of our lives together. I will love you always!

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

Matthew 5 - 8
