Rock Star Diary Poppy, my beloved Grandfather passed away peacefully yesterday, Feb 1, 2009. He was 93 years old.He fought in WWII, arriving in North Africa in 1942 as a private. Eventually becoming a first lieutenant, he was amoung a small group who planned D-Day, landed on Omaha Beach, freed France, saved Jews, and was leading a group of soldiers through Germany when the war ended.
But most of all he was super Poppy! I already miss him so much.
I heard that Poppy visited cousin Jacquelyn last night (and brought some dead flowers in her apartment back to life!!!). We're all a little jealous Poppy, so maybe it's my turn tonight?
XOXO,
Jocelyn
COMMENT:
Dear Jocelyn,
I am very sorry to hear that you have lost a family member so dear to you.
It is a very affectionate tribute to your grandfather.
I loved reading this article and seeing the woderful pictures you shared.
Your dear gradfather was a very heroic man that all of Greenwich is proud of.
You are very fortunate to have such a loving and special Grandfather.
I am sure that that your grandfather wants nothing more than to be a guide and guardian angel for you as you grow.
So when you are thinking about him, or having fun, or enjoying life, you can imagine that he is smiling and delighting in who you are and how you are growing.
We all know that you are going to continue to make your dear grandfather proud everyday.
With warmest regards,
Brian
