Farewell To One of the Best.....

James Robert Anderson
My Grandpa Andy passed away early morning on Sunday October 26th.
We celebrated his life at his funeral Thursday. What a perfect fall day! The leaves were falling due to the crisp fall breeze and the sun was shining in the bright blue sky. I am sad to see him go, but I'm so happy he will be able to return to our loving Heavenly Father. His poor body had been suffering for so long. Fortunately my sister Amelia and I were able to visit him about a week before he passed away. He told me how proud he was of my husband Steve and me. Then when he saw my son Tyler, he sat up laughing, reached out for his hand, and said, "Look at That!" He has always loved his Grandchildren, was such a wonderful Grandpa and so full of personality. He was one of a kind and will be missed by many. It meant so much to me to see so many people come to honor him. He had so many friends, who all had great things to say about him. People really loved his great sense of humor. He was always LAUGHING. He loved to Have fun, he worked hard and he played hard. I will miss him so much, and I know my Dad sure will. They were great friends and my Dad always took care of him in his final years. I am proud of my Dad.
"See You in the Spring Grandpy!"
