"Thank You Grandpa"

Marco Gongora, Paul Revere Elementary

Thank you for your love,

Thank you for your laughs.

We will always love you from the bottom of our hearts.

We can see you, we can hear you, and we are all near you.

Thank you for your speech and the lovely words you said.

I will never forget your last words.

We love you, we miss you, and we will never forget you.

Thank you Grandpa.
