I never knew my Grandpa Sandford. He died in a tragic logging machine accident before my mom was even married. My mom talks about him occasionally, but that is, for the most part, the only person I'd heard about him from. Recently though, my Uncle John posted a comment on Facebook about the Grandpa I never got to know, and it really touched my heart:
"Dad was the greatest man I have ever know and when he died an elder stood up and said "if Jesus were alive today I don't know if you could tell the differance between Phil and him." He would tell you up front what was right or wrong but then would let you decide what you wanted to do with the information, but he would show you the way by his example. And even though I might not have been on the straight and narrow path and was doing many things he disapproved of he loved me unconditionally."
Proud to be his granddaughter! I love you Grandpa!
