My Mosu
(My Grandfather)
by
Zachary Farmer, age 13

I said a prayer for my Mosu today
Hoping he is safe in heaven every day
He was caring and his heart was strong
His time with us was very long

He loved being with his family all the time
And would do anything for them at the drop of a dime
He could strike up a conversation with anyone
Everyone knew he was caring and fun

Waiting for the mail is what he liked to do
When he got it he said, "thank you!"
I said a prayer for my Mosu today
Hoping he is safe in heaven every day.

[webmaster: The above poem was read by Andy Russell's grandson, Zachary, at the services for Andy. Mosu, with a serif below the "s", is the Romanian word for Grandfather, and is pronounced mo-shoe]
