I wish you could have said goodbye to us, but I am glad we could say our goodbyes. I wish we could have done more, but in my heart, I know we did all we could. I wish we could have given you a big enough reason to stay, but understand why you wanted to let go. Ninety-eight years and eleven months is one hell of a run. Thank you for inspiring us with your strength and will power. Thank you for sharing your stories, your humor, and your boundless love with us. You will be sorely missed, but we know you are having a reunion of your own up there. Your memory will be cherished forever. You've been our hero, our patriarch. You lived to be a great-great grandfather. As sad as we are that you departed we are glad that you are no longer in pain, we are glad that you have returned home to be surrounded by the loved ones you had lost. Our love for you will live on forever; what you taught us will be passed down through generations; we will immortalize you through our words and actions.
