To my beautiful Margaret, Ray-Anne, and Summer,
We are so sorry for your loss. This is a sad time but know in your heart you were everything to your grandpa. He was proud of each and everyone of you. He would share pictures, things you did, how you were doing at school and many other things. Anyone who knew him knew he loved you 3 and your mother more than anything or anyone. I am truly sorry that you did not have your Granny and Grandpa longer you were the light of their lives. Hopefully your step grandma will love you 3 enough for them both for years to come.
Karen sorry your parents are gone but they loved you and were proud of you. Anyone who knew them and knows you that you were a close family and you were a good daughter to them. You provided love, help, money, and anything either of them needed. You are and were an amazing daughter. I know the love you all shared will go on in your love for your family and friends.
Theresa sorry that your Dad is gone he loved you. He always wanted you and Karen to watch out for one another as you are both so different. Remember your sister loves you even if she gets upset with you. She only wants the very best for you. Love your sister love your nieces and you will always have them.
Iris I do not know you but he spoke of you often and loved sorry you had a very short time with John. I know he could be difficult at times but if you can get past all that he has a huge heart full of love for his entire family. He had told me many times leading up to his death that he wanted you to be close to his “little boss” (Karen) and his 3 granddaughters. Karen has the biggest heart I have ever witnessed. I know she loves you no matter what has happened she is forgiving and her love runs deep for her family and is the most important thing. I and anyone who knows the family can tell you she did anything and everything for her parents and considers you her mother. Hopefully you and she can find common ground as John wanted you to have each other. He spoke to her about this often for her to never give up trying. He told me he never really understood why you never wanted to accept Karen as your daughter. You accepted Theresa and his granddaughters but not her.
Sorry for your loss may God guide and keep you all
