I love you great grump, forever in my heart
There’s so much left unsaid Grumpy…not enough space or words. I think it was my father who came up with the term Grumpy, I can’t rightly remember…..but in my mind you were m MY grumpy first. I thought I was prepared for this moment. I wasn’t…..I have no words only tears and a big hole. Even though we were far apart for so long, knowing you were still physically on this earth was enough for me. I’m shocked with the depth of emotion, despair and longing. You and gram were home. My safety, my childhood. A piece is now gone. Never forgotten, always loved and respected. No matter what. It was a DILLY of a ride my grumpy. Xo
We were so sorry to hear of uncle Cyril’s passing. We will offer prayers for the whole family in this sorrowful time. Rest in Peace.
See you in the stars, Uncle Cyril
R.I.P Uncle Cyril ❤️
I remember sharing a couple of Lone Stars with Cyril by the pool in Seabrook a few times when I visited him in the ‘90’s. We always had a great laugh together as he told a few stories about his retirement in Texas and trips to Lake Charles and Vegas. I’ll always remember those visits with a smile.
