Goodbye Granddad

My lovely Grandfather, Frank Tayler, passed away in his sleep at home this morning. He was 94 years old.

If you watched the three part series "The Long March to Freedom" which was shown on the "Yesterday" channel earlier this month, you would have seen him talking about his experiences during World War II.

I am very sad that my Grandfather has gone but I know that he was ready and it was what he wanted.

Oh so sad Clare. I hope you can get comfort from knowing he had a wonderful long life.
My Nana is 95 on Christmas Day (both her and my Birthday!, I will be 51) and I know she is a wonder and so fab for her age, when anything happens to her I know she had a great life and we loved her. Thinking about you. Debbiexx
