love you forever.
Alexander George “Sandy” Fowler

To my grandpa, my Poppa:
You were the most loving, the wisest, the strongest, the most stubborn, the most funny, the kindest.
You prayed for me every single day.
It’s been a rough couple of years for you, and I know you wanted to go and be with Jesus. Now you’re there, and I know you’re happier and more comfortable than we could ever make you here.
But I will miss you more than I can express.
Love you.
“Keep your stick on the ice.”

Hold tight to each other until this eases.
