Guy,

I was deeply saddened to hear of your passing. Although life changed over the years, I will always be grateful for the many memories we shared and for the years I knew you as part of the family. I’ll always remember the Three Peaks walks we did together in Yorkshire, where you always seemed to set the pace no matter the weather or terrain.

I’ll always remember your love of the countryside, your walks, your stories, and your quiet way about you. You were always welcoming to me, and I will always appreciate the kindness and support you showed over the years.

You will be greatly missed.

Ash

Grandad,

I’ll always remember going on walks with you, hearing your stories, and how much you loved being out in the countryside. I’m really going to miss you and I wish we had more time together.

Thank you for being such a great grandad. I’ll never forget you.

Love,
Wills
