Dear Dad, You are the perfect example of how a man should live, love his family and care about the world and the people in it. You have always strived to live your life according to God's will and to reach out to others with His message. Your work here on earth is done and although we may not fully understand or appreciate God's timing, it's always according to His great plan for our lives. God has called you home to rest, and there will be no more heartache, pain or suffering for you and we will take heart in knowing that your journey on earth is complete and you are safe in the arms of Jesus, where you belong. I will miss my Dad, my children will miss their Papa, but you will remain in our hearts as we share our stories and memories of you over the days and years to come. I have been and still am, very proud to be your daughter and to call you my Dad. Anna Grant
