The Chicken Song: A Tribute
Posted by Van on Sunday Feb 27, 2011 Under FamilyGrandpa Bill taught the girls this chicken song one summer. They sang it all summer long, often as quickly as they could.
A few nights ago, many family members joined together to sing songs at Grandpa’s bedside, and someone started the chicken song. Bill, who had been speaking very little that day, suddenly burst forward with the chicken song at breakneck speed, to everyone’s surprise and delight.
Grandpa passed away Thursday morning. We shot this video of the girls singing it as a tribute to him.

Hello Beautiful Family! I’m sorry to hear of your Grandpa’s passing, but what a blessing and a gift that you were there with him and the whole family. My heart breaks for you, but it also rejoices, in knowing that you were there, no doubt bringing happiness and joy to his final days on this earth. You are such a special family. All our love to you, and especially to Jean. You’re in our hearts and minds.

Hey guys,
That’s such a great story. Jean, I know how much comfort you were to my mom and for us at this time last year, I hope you got to enjoy being with your father in his last days. I’m sure the girl’s brought him great joy. Take care,
JANA

Dear Ellie,
We miss you so much. St. Paddie’s Day is coming up next week, and we’ll be thinking of you and wearing green (unless we want to get pinched!).
Caroline has been asking to write to you all the time.
Abby is standing over my shoulder as I write this, asking me to request that you write back soon.
Julia wants to say that we’re about to go to lunch, but Mrs. Pitt’s class misses you.
Ted is still a rascal! Harrison is now sitting at your old table, and Nyjah is sitting at your old desk.
Hope says, “I’m still weird, and I want to say I miss you.”
Graham says, “I’m destroying everything!”
It’s time to go, Ellie. Enough of our nonsense!
We hope you’re having fun.
Sincerely,
The Crazy, Phunky Pups
