Hey grand-daddy it's me Tasha also known as your Thum Thum. I wanted to let you know that I love you so... much. Eventhough we bumped head many of times, after being apart for a while we were back to ourselves again. I miss you so much. When I think about you being gone I think of the times I will miss. The particular time that comes to my mind is when I stayed over yall house and we would drink coffee and eat Banner sausage, and eggs. The sight and smell of that sausage reminds me of you so much. That's just one of the memories I have when I think of you.
You are always in my thought and in my memory...
Love you always

Grand- daddy, it really hurt me to my heart to see the pain and struggle you went through and to see you leave us so soon. I want you to know that I love you so much and I am going to miss you a lot. I am always going to be your T-POT. You always told me that you were proud of me for my accomplishments and you will see that Im not done yet. Theres alot more that I got planned for myself. I love and will always remember you, your one and only T-POT.
