My dear Poppy Janes,
Words can not express how greatful I am to be able to call you my grand father , my Poppy Janes! I am truly saddened that you are gone. But you are now flying with Nanny Janes watching over all of us. I will always cherish the wonderful memories we have together. I am so happy I was able to go see you last year along with everyone else in the family . You gave me amazing memories that I will Cherish for the rest of my life. You have shown me endless love , kindness and taught me how to have a gentle heart for everyone and everything . I thank you most of all for bringing in this world a wonderful woman who has taught me everything you know and I know in life. She has taught me my morals and leadership ( positive you gave that to her) and teaching me to be a strong and Independent woman. That woman is my mother . Without her I would not be the woman I am today so I can not thank you enough for that. I will always remember the dancing skills you gave me . Dancing last year in your kitchen with Nanny Janes and my family. You where just busting out laughing saying ” oh Heather your a true Newfy, dancing like that!” Ohh how much I love you and miss you . No matter how many miles we were apart, we new how much we loved each other . I feel comfort knowing I have gained a wonderful , gentle guardian angel! I love you Poppy Janes!❤
So sorry to hear of your loss. We have great memories of our times together. God bless you and your family.
