Granddaddy, I LOVE YOU and WILL MISS YOU SO MUCH. You probably don't realize how much your life with Grandma and how you loved one another helped shape and mold so many things in my life. I wish nothing more than to know and have love the way you and my grandmother did. It was a true live fairy tale. I know you are dancing with her right now and are truly happy being at home in God's house. He built a mansion just for you and grandma and one day I'll be coming to visit you! make sure to have Monday night wrestling on though, and could you please ask grandma if she would make some of her famous fried chicken? Love Always, Your Granddaughter Donna.

I can't be there to pay my respects to my Grand daddy. I'm sad about his passing, but I know he was welcomed home by his family. By now they will have all had a shot of Rockin Rye and be gathered around a table full of fried chicken, macaroni and cheese and some cherry yum yum. I loved my Grand daddy!
