Jeffrey Alan Guillaume 'Gilly'

Jeffrey Alan Guillaume"Im going alone, with a blind lay down loner."On August 11th of 2018, my dad died. He was my best friend for many years, and I was his baby girl. It broke my heart to see him in so much pain. By the grace of God I was able to see him one last time to say goodbye.The night before he died, I made him promise me he would hold on until I got there.In his hospital room, we joked about how I had grew wings and flew all the way from Ohio just to come see him, trying to make him crack a smile. By the time I got there, he couldn't open his eyes and he could barely communicate. Before he left for Heaven, my dad opened his eyes one last time, to see me and took his final breath.I wrote this poem for him. I hope he can hear me reading it out loud, and know how much I love him and miss him.I love you dad! I cant wait to see your wingsWingsI grew some wings and flew to the sea,So that I could see you and you could see me,I grew some wings and came as fast as I could,So on my promise I could make good,You held on tight and fought a good fight,Until I reached you on my long flight,Your eyes were closed and your breathing unsteady,In my heart I knew you were ready,I know you heard me, you knew I was there,To tell you I love you, the timing was fair,When you finally opened your eyes,It came to me as a big surprise,The picture of me you carry is your last earthly memory,As your glossy eyes made that 1,000 mile stare,I could hear your say you loved me with your last breath of air,As I cried out in pain I knew you weren't there,I'll never forget that last glance, and I'll never forget our last dance,You know I love you and I miss you dearly,So I grew some wings and flew to the sea,So that you could grow wings and come visit me.Please feel free to join the family in celebrating Jeffs life at Alpine Park on Saturday, August 18, 2018 @ 1:30pm.The releasing of the balloons will be done at his "tee time," 2:50pm.Please bring with you any funny stories, special memories, or anything you would like to share at the celebration.We encourage everyone to wear to wear garnet and gold or brown and orange attire for Jeffs love of FSU and the Cleveland Browns!We love you and Godspeed!.MemorialAlpine ParkSaturday, August 18, 20181:30 PM2060 State Road 13Saint Johns, FL 32259
