Very sorry to hear of your loss.

God please give John the strength to bear the loss of the company of such a good soul that was so very close to him and God please give him the strength to put all the pains aside and with Your help he will now know for sure that this soul has not gone forever.

You will always treasure the things he gave to and shared with you. Grandfathers are very special. Carry on, John, and keep him in your heart.

A sad day for you and your family.
I like to think that my dad is still with me when I work on things that we used to together. Sometimes that helps. Hold on to all the good memories. Were all here with you in spirit.

John are prayers are with you and your family at this most difficult time, Socrates once said about the loss of loved ones:

"Be of good cheer about death and know this as a truth - that no evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death." - Socrates
