For Grier

You brought us together
An unbreakable bond held tightly
With teamwork

laughter

and love

You showed us
who we wanted to be
And taught us
how to become it

Smiling at our flaws
Laughing at our mistakes
And teaching the steps
to perfection

You fathered us
with passion and care
patience and enthusiasm

In your absence
we unite as no longer a team
But a family

In your memory
we cherish each other
and what you gave us

In your memory
we thrive
to continue your legacy
