memory of Grandpa

When I hear the word Grandpa several words come into my mind, here are just some of the words, strong, hard working, and loving man. Before my Grandpa died he did every thing that he could to make life enjoyable and fun for his wife Janice and five kids. He was funny and selfless and he would think of others before himself, he was a magnificent role model. My Grandpa drove a truck for a lumber company for several no for many, many years and received awards for being a courteous driver my Grandpa Leonard Bills will always be apart of our lives and is still living in our hearts. Me and my family will always remember him as the great man he always was and nothing less I love my Grandpa and hope he is happy.
Here is the story: The day before April vacation April sixteenth 2004 I was half way through washing my face when I heard my mom crying so I dried my face and went upstairs. My mom and dad were sitting at the coffee table when I came up and sure enough she was crying. I asked why she was crying and that made her cry even more so I felt bad because I made her cry. My dad said that Grandpa (Leonard Merrile Bills) had died around one, o clock in the morning. My Grandpa had died of a heart attack and my uncle Joe tried to revive him but my Grandpas heart couldn’t handle another heart attack so he died. Two days later we went to the funeral home to "talk" to my Grandpa and then we went to the grave yard and I watched as they buried him. My mom and grandma were both crying really hard except a few people and I was one of them but that doesn’t mean I wasn’t sad I was but I told my self not to cry. After the funeral everybody came over to our house to talk to each other. My Grandpas death was a real shock to me after he died i felt empty as if there’s a part of me missing that can never be replaced I know he will always be with me were ever I go he is watching over the family spent his life raising GRANDPA I WILL FOREVER MISS YOU REST IN PEACE GRAMPS

This is so sad... The only

This is so sad...

The only suggestion I have is to be careful about grammar. You can probably also develop this more if you want to, because it makes great prose.
