GRANDBOIS, Fernand Ernest December 11, 1919-November 30, 1983 It was 25 years ago that you so suddenly left me There has never been a day that goes by that you have not been in my thoughts You were the kind of Father that others wished they had I know that I was blessed to have had you as my Dad, but that made it even harder when I lost you You were loving, kind, patient, understanding and the best hugger ever I miss your sense of humour, your laughter and the twinkle in your blue eyes when you tease I missed you terribly on my wedding day They say as time goes by, that it becomes easier to live with loss I have accepted the fact that you are physically gone, but there are times when I do feel you around me and I am thankful that, but it is not the same Dad, I still miss you everyday.
