Yesterday you took a step out of this world and into the next. You lived 89 years and were truly a Strong man. You showed love without pause, and all who will remember you will have only good and humorous stories to tell. You are Father, Grandfather, Great grandfather, Husband, Uncle, Cousin, Brother, and Friend. Your contributions are in everything you put your hand and heart to. 
So I see a halo over your head. As you soar like an eagle, your legacy drives on. I know the ancestors are welcoming you into the great unknown path. Journey in peace Pappa, I'll see you later.

What does one diamond say to another diamond? Would diamonds compete to be the most brilliant? If diamonds are uncut and unpolished are they still beautiful? I guess all these can be answered differently depending on how you want to view the situation. I think what I want to get at here is that we all have potential and we all have our qualities and blemishes. In a chest full of diamonds (cut and polished) they can all refract light. So don't put your shine away!
