At 6:46AM, March 4, 2016. Rest in peace to the greatest grandfather, father, husband, friend and the best man I have ever known. You changed my entire family's life by coming and loving my grandmother and you truly left your mark on all of our hearts. You finally get to "go to the moon" where they play country music all the time and you can dance on forever. I love you with all my heart. As much as I selfishly want you to be here, I know you are no longer suffering. You lost the fight to cancer, but you won the battle of receiving eternal peace. You will live on in all of our hearts. I love you, you beautiful soul...Tia
