Grandpa, I will always remember how I looked up to you and you use to call me little pea! Always loved to come and stay with you and loved to call you "GRANDPA". You were there when my Grandfather "Charles H. Colbourne Sr".,passed and I remember my grandmother "Carolyn M.Colbourne" saying you were the last grandfather we had. You said to my grandmother I have this!! You did for a while, then I had you for a while. I will remember the tennis shoes we bought and the times we had picking out the "TV", 27", to be exact!! So you could see.. LOL!! You made me laugh a lot, u flirted with the staff and had fun while you were there.. Lexi your great-grand-daugter is beautiful, has your height and of course my expertize.

LOVE YOU ALWAYS
"SWEET PEA"

Well DAD the time has finally come...You are with God now and in No more PAIN... I know we had some ups and downs throughout my life But you were a Great DAD. I remember one time I asked to use the car and you said yes I was so excited.. Then The WRECK... BAM...OMG.. When the cops got there and asked me for a number to call my parents I told them call my MOM NOT my DAD.. I just knew I was gonna be in BIGGG TROUBLE... when yall showed up and came walking to me I was so scared and nervous. But you walked over and said "BABY YOU OK". I was like huh??? I said yea but the car. You said "BABY WE CAN FIX THE CAR BUT AS LONG AS YOUR OK THATS ALL IM WORRIED ABOUT". I think at that moment is when I realized You were the best DAD any little girl could ask for.. I will miss you and Love you so much... I love you DAD...
