This man had a hearth of gold. He was my grandmothers and my Moms gardener. He would all so do shopping for my grandmother if she needed something that day. He has now passed thought the pearly gates to walk the road of gold. He has join his beloved wife Miley and my family having coffee and cookies talking about the good old days. He will be missed but never forgotten
