Thank you granda

There are no words to express
What you meant to me
And for being the dad
You did not have to be
A beautiful person
With a wonderful heart
And I miss you so much
Since we had to part
We may have not been
Related by blood
But you loved me more
Than anyone could
I’ll treasure the memories
And I’ll not feel sad
Because I was so lucky
To have the perfect stepdad
And grandad for ever in are hearts xx
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this very sad time especially our son in-law Barry REST IN PEACE
