In Memory Of My Grandfather
George Francis Head
Age 69
January 11, 1932 - February 14, 2001
First Birthday In Heaven
January 11th, 2002
Today on earth we gather
To celebrate this day
Although you can't be with us
Your soul not far away
This special day of beauty
We gathered for each year
Remembering sweet Poppy
Wishing he was here
Angels gather playing
Gentle notes of love
Melodies from heaven
As prayers will rise above
Gather in all splendor
The gifts we send to you
Hearts so filled with longing
For dreams that can't come true
We ask the Lord to Bless you
To keep you in His care
As silently we grieve now
For time we cannot share
Each one of us will tell you
The words so deep within
We miss you with such passion
Each day our life begins
Always see you smiling
When thoughts of you unfold
Treasured memories hold us
For this we are consoled
Walk with us forever
You're always at our side
Want to know your with us
As days go slowly by
What a joy to have you
So blended in our hearts
Forever you're the treasure
Whose spirit never parts
Remembrances are gathered
On this your special day
Your symphony in heaven
The angel's sweet bouquet.
Happy Birthday Pop!
Remembering all the yesterdays, the special growing years
Spent with friends and family
And shared with smiles and tears...
Remembering all the yesterdays and knowing as we do,
The love in those sweet memories
Was all wrapped up in you.
Forever in our memories, always in our hearts,
Until we meet again, we will always love you.
Let Your Light Shine
We do not need a special day to bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you are very hard to find.
Each morning when we awake we know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache as we try to carry on.
Our hearts still ache with sadness and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you no one will ever know.
Our thoughts are always with you, your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly; in death we love you still.
There will always be a heartache, and often a silent tear.
But always a precious memory of the days when you were here.
If tears would make a staircase, and heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven and bring you home again.
We hold you close within our hearts; and there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives until we meet again.
Our family chain is broken now, and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

Grandfather
First Anniversary in Heaven
Feb 14th, 2002
We mourn for you in silence,
No eyes can see us weep,
But many a silent tear is shed,
While others are asleep.
If we had all the world to give,
We'd give it, yes, and more.
To hear your voice, see your smile,
or greet you at the door.
But all we can do, Dear Grandfather,
is go and tend your grave,
and leave behind tokens of love,
to the BEST Grandfather God made.
I am your Granddaughter who misses you,
and finds time long since your gone.
I think of you daily and hourly,
But I try to be brave and strong.
The twin will always remember,
The Great Grandfather they loved so much.
They cry to go visit you Poppy,
but it's their heart I tell them to touch.
Not a day do we forget you,
For in our heart you are always there,
For we love you Poppy, and we miss you,
as it ends the saddest first year.
To some you are forgotten,
To others just part of the past,
But to us who loved and lost you,
Your memory will always last.
God knows you had to leave us,
But you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you,
The day he took you home.
We like to think when life is done,
Wherever heaven maybe
You'll be standing at the door
Up there waiting for me.
Until we met again, We'll always love and miss you,
Sherry and Terry
Great Grandpa
Silently the angels took Great Grandpa
Into the mansion up above,
Before we had a chance to really know him
And give him all our love.
We know we will never forget you.
Your pictures we will always hold dear
Of the wonderful Great Grandpa we had
That laughed and played with us when we were there.
Mommy takes us to your resting place,
And lays flowers there with care,
We always kiss your picture,
And wonder why your not here.
Someday we will understand
When we are a big girl and boy.
Why you had to leave us Great Grandpa
For a place way up in the sky.
Loved and missed very much, your Great Grandchildren,
Jeremy and Kaitlyn Jones
