Grandpa
I'm sorry I didn't get to say goodbye
But your death gives me strength to try
Remembering your warm embrace
Puts a smile upon my face
You always told me never to give up
Even when life gets tough
I can do anyhting I set my mind too
And now I know it's true
I love you more than you'll ever know
But it's so hard to let go
You'll always stay close to me
Cause in my heart is where you'll be!
I Love you!!!!!

Relation: Mother of your Granddaughter Alana
Dear Eleanore and Family,
My thoughts of you and your family have gone
through my mind since finding out of Frank's passing.
Alana and I would have been there Friday if we had
known.
It is important that you know that we have many
happy and meaningful memories with all of you. The
time we went sailing, that was the first time I had
done that. Eleanore, you introduced me to boysonberry and cream cheese
sandwiches, so good!
The time we went to Put n' Bay and walked in
the caverens and tasted wine.
Going over to your home to visit, I still remember how you grew violets
in the living room.
The times we had you over for dinner and the
conversations we shared.
Getting together for Christmas and watching the
two of you come in the house carring a decorated
basket with different goodies in it. The laughter
we shared.
The thoughful baby shower at your sister's house. The excitment of a
new baby.
WHen you both came up to the hospital to see
your granddaughter. We have that captured on film.
Pictures we took of Alana being held by Frank. He
was such a proud grandfather. I remember when you
mentioned having Corkle for her middle name but I
came up with Joanne instead.
The times Karen Johnson would come over to play
with Alana. I still have the drawing she made for me
being her favorite Aunt. How sweet.
The 1st birthday of Alana when everyone was there
Carl, he could really laugh and play. Laura, so
beautiful and grown-up. Karen was attentive to Alana
who was not feeling well that day. How you made the
little birthday cake for Alana.
All the birthdays we shared as a family. And
the other holidays with Alana.
These are the times I remember and will have
for the rest of my life. Thank you so much.
My love & prayers are with you Eleanore.
Thoughtfully,
Pamela
