Dear Granddaddy: Although our time together was short I will cherish the memories we did make. Although I made gravy regularly, I have never made butter gravy before so we shared a first as well. Thanks for the conversations and telling the nurses I was your grand daughter it meant alot to me. Enjoy your rest because when "we all get together" what a day of rejoicing that will be. Until that time - thank you. LOVE YOUR GRAND DAUGHTER, TABITHA

My granddad was loved by many I miss him more than anyone will ever know. These words ring in my ears that my daughter keeps telling me I Did Not Die
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle Autumn’s rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush.
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there;
I did not die.
I know he is in Heaven now with my granny Luella and Lillian
