For the funeral of my grandfather, being the oldest of the grandchildren, I was commissioned by the family to write a tribute on behalf of all the grandchildren. .. After questioning several cousins / cousins on their memories with our grandfather, I composed the following lines: Everybody wants to know a great man ....
We, the grandchildren of Lucien, we had this chance. We came close to a strong and proud man, a pioneer, a pillar, but above all, a good man, a man of heart, life and family. We were part of his life but we were important to him.
Our grandfather, the patriarch, the grandfather, who shows us the way, who welcomes us and tells us how to love ... For him, love him, it just happens naturally ... no complications ...
We remember his stories, his joy, his laughter and his jokes, but also, on his taffy and his blueberry pancakes. We remember his calm, his strength, his lucidity and his complicity with his better half ... We remember his blessing, so symbolic for all! We remember the nights of hockey! We remember her love of the forest, blueberries, ice fishing, walks in 4 wheels, healing and fun ... it was there!
Through him, we, his grandchildren, are proud people and good, loving parents, loving, committed to family values ... We forwarded his simplicity, his love and zest for life ... ... live intensely, enjoy the moment, enjoy life and the people you love, love them without restraint and stuff, naturally ... with ease ... it is the grand-daddy!
And all that makes us proud to be part of this family ... We are fortunate to have had a man like him at our side during all those years ... We are privileged to have known and loved ... and we are fortunate that '... we have loved
We are sad today, but we can be proud to have had him in our lives, to have been part of his and have had the pleasure and honor to give as much back-grandchildren he could take on his knees and dancing in his arms ...
This morning, cousins, unite our voices to say: Good Travel grandp'pa we love you!
Your grandchildren ...
- And for the last sentences, and cousins stood upright in the church to show their presence in the hope of mouth, a good trip to this man so important in our lives !!... It was a great moment of emotion!
