    Honor-(noun); High respect, as that shown for special merit; esteem
    My Grandfather was the definition of honor. He displayed this throughout his life by demonstrating integrity and honesty. His actions were of courage and fairness. He was a strong man in his beliefs and with his relationship with God. As a follower of Jesus, he was also a leader to others…..like me. He had a huge impact and such a postive influence on me and my relationship with God. Thank you Grandpa. I love you and you are already missed.
