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.
