(sd.Note: IE all started with a telephone call. Michele Zambonl was on our lLne,repdrtslng, sadly, Ehe passi-ng of her belbved grandfather, "ourt' FRANCIS J. NoIAN,(c'19th);' Qulckly, shb regalned her composurE wlch a slirpte requests -- which was notto be denied. Would we prlntr lf she wrote, a few 9f her thoughts? The answer,dear Michele, ls "Assuredly Yes, the pa.ge is yours.")

A I.ETTER TO UY GRANDI'ATHER

Ic ts febrrraly and the Berkshire snqs has sLnce covered your Lonely grave. Onlyfour months ago I -can remember lyitg by your bedstde after your soul trad jusE esc€Pedyour tslred body. If only you could have held on a lit.t.Ie longer I would have EoId youbne lasc tLme Eha t. I loved you.

If thele was ever a moment, ln nry life when I needed you Ehe mostr it certainlywould be non. To embrace your t'barrel'r chesE agaln would give me Ehe strength Eo goon. To feel ycr.rr rough warn trands ln mind would give me Ehe reassurance that you wlllalways be theie. To hear your deep volce t,elling me you loved me would sooEhe all ofIlfe's problems. BuE as reallEy sets ln' I am faced wlEh the fact. Ehat I wlll neversee, hear, or touch you again.

Only those preclous memories I have tso keep you alive.Noe, as Ehe grlef and sorroo slowly pass' I lie awake nighEs thlnking of speclal

BomenEs we had.I\renty- two yeals I spent with you. Ghlldhood days holdlng your hand.Grandpa., you were Ehe one who built me a sr.ring, shorced me tshe mormtalns and

taughE me Eo s1ng.In your eyes, I knew I could see; tshe kindests of eyes Ehere ever could be.Storles of Ehe war, Irll never forgets, and the love we gave your we'll never

regret.Oh, hor I nLss you grandfather mine; J.f only we could go back in time.You t€re a strong and able nan capable of conquerlng any obstacle Ehat came your

way and your bravery during World War II capcured rhe admiration of your eomrades.

Your love for carpencry was like EtraE of a surgeon pa.lnstakingly uslng each toolwlth perfectlon. Everjr rooit you reconsErucEed ln our home symbolizes a part of you.

Ncir as I lie awake nights thinklng of the Past' I begin to Lrnderstand youGrandpa, for you were noL itways a happy nun. Your headstone displays a broken columnsvmboil2tne air r:nfulfilled lifi:. A liti: filted wich tunnoil and despa.Ir. A child ofb'roken dreims desperat.ely seeklng someone Eo love. I truly beli-eve Ehe only real andsolid love you eve! found was ln the heartss of your grandchlldren.

The feellngs we have for you and Ehe Elmeless oornents r{re sPenE togeEher rillremain In orlr memolles forever.

As I end this leEtelr Grandpa., I want you to knc[, hors rmrch you are loved andmlssed.

Godts grealest glft of aLI was to have you for a Grandpa. to call my very own.

Love forever and alnays tMicheIe.
