Goodbye Grandpa Phil - We Love You Always

Shaun's Dad, Jacob's Grandpa, died on August 11th from complications of pancreatic cancer. He fought hard with this disease and wanted so badly to live and see his family continue to grow. We will miss him so much each and every day and will always look forward to the day when we will see him again. I found this poem to dedicate to his memory.

The smile on your face is a lasting memory in our hearts,
Nothing in this world not even death can keep us apart,
You have always been the one we go to for advice,
Whenever we are upset, or even just a bit uptight,
You always seem to know the right thing to do and say,
But don’t worry, you’re still the one we will go to,
We’ll be together again one day,
We want to say thank you for being the best that you could be,
You were our confidant, our best friend, the head of our family,
Now it is time that you can finally stop worrying about us,
You can relax, have fun, you no longer need to fuss,
We know that if we need to you, you be here by our side,
We do believe that even though your not here with us,
This will never be goodbye,
We love you and will miss you
The happiness you have given us will last a lifetime.
