Grover's parents

The two people responsible for inspiring my life with honesty and a desire to succeed, my mom and dad. Mom passed away unexpectedly on 9/11/05, and Dad passed away on 01/06/09. We miss them everyday. Life will never be the same without them. This photo was taken 8/4/02. The following poem sums up how I feel about them.

"MY MOM & DAD”

They have been my inspiration

looking back through the years

Memories of two good parents

Are among my souvenirs.

Their good advice made me strong

And their guidance helped me so

If I give credit where it’s due,

Then they’re the ones I owe.

It’s hard to accept the fact

That they will no longer be around

When it comes to any better parents

None has yet been found.

What they’ve meant to me goes deeper

Beyond what a poet could say

And anything I tried to do

Never did repay.

I hope I made them understand

The value of their worth

They lived up to what they were

“Humane and down-to-earth.”

They expected nothing in return

For giving all they had

And made an impact on my life

Very special parents, “My Mom & Dad.”
