Most children grew up living and spending much time with their grandparents. Some because they lost their read parents, so they lived with their granny while some are always due to separation from both parents.
It is always very sad to lose a caring and loving grandfather or grandmother, especially when our real parents are no more. It leaves us empty for a long time thinking and mourning.
Below is a compilation of sorrowful tributes to late grand-fathers, grand-mothers, great-grandmothers, and great-grandfathers in other to mourn them dearly:
A TRIBUTE TO MY GRANDMOM
How sad it is mum to write about you like this my memory is full of so many wonderful and funny memories of you mom and I don’t know which one, to begin with, well this was supposed to be a biography mum, not a tribute but I guess I just have to write about you mom.
Words will not let me tell and my pen wouldn’t let me write how wonderful you were to me, your presence and so many tarries lighten up my mood, your words so many times mom has given me encouragement and made me think better of myself, your affection mom so many times has made me miss you. I will not forget your troublesome aspect mom, your voice still rings in my ears from how many times you abuse and shout my name in a day, the number of times you feed me cannot be compared to any other. I have not forgotten the last time I ate from you, it was really nice. Mama, I was looking forward to the day I will start buying gifts for you with my sweat, but look like nobody can truly know what will happen next.
I love you, mama, and I pray that this perfect soul of yours will rest in peace. Amen

A TRIBUTE TO MY BELOVED FATHER
Death, what a thief you are. Life is a mystery, and so is death. Daddy, I never imagined that you will leave us so soon, your life was filled with good intentions towards your children, a man of peace, love, humility, and simplicity and always ready to give a helping hand to the needy in society.
You were a man which I grew up to know and see as a great man of strength, virtue, and hardworking.
Daddy, it is unbelievable that you have passed away into the great beyond. I love you daddy but God loves you most.
May your gentle soul rest in peace daddy (Amen).
Becky Ofem Ikpi
(Daughter)
My Officer of the Law, why have you left us this soon, my children often ask me, mum, where is daddy Becky our officer?
And always I will have nothing to say to them because I hardly believe that my brother will be gone so soon.
Oh death why have you done this to me, but one thing is for sure, everyone on earth will not live forever.
Farewell, my brother.
Rest in the bosom of the Lord until we meet to part no more.
