Guest MrsDooLittle Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Oh your beautiful tribute made me smile between the tears. What a special boy Grandpa was. I have always admired his name, and his picture in your signature.....especially those ears!! He touched the lives of so many over the years. I know your heart is aching and I'm so sorry....

Guest Spiff Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I'm so sorry to hear about Grandpa's passing. The pictures you shared with us are all so touching - but especially the first and the last. With both Grandpa and Spiff, I think you could see how young their souls were in their eyes - even though both were teenagers. Grandpa was very lucky to have found you to share his final years with. :f_white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PhillyPups Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Oh Heather and Ken, How this thread rips my heart. What a wonderful tribute to your champion boy. I feel at the bridge, he was greeted by The Queen, who probably sidled up and said hey handsome ~ on the first anniversary of her going to the bridge. I can only visualize two Greyt GoldenGreys racing across the fields at the bridge, Grandpa with his sailor mouth, and The Queen right at his side giving her trash talk too!! Big hugs to you lady~ and know that when Grandpa officially retired he got the best, which is what any Champ deserves!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
