I'm so happy to have been your princess for as long as I was, Papaw; even though it wasn't for as long as I would have liked. Then again, I know that you are exactly where you want to be; drinking Miller Lite and partying it up with your soulmate, Mamaw. I'll always remember you as the cute teddy bear who never let me stay in time out for too long and always made sure my burgers came with extra pickles. I love you forever and always, and I can't wait to tell Teddi how lucky she is to be your Granddaughter!

Although we were only around you a handful of times we always enjoyed our time together. Whether around a table over a cup of coffee or at the beach over a cold beer, conversations about family and life in general were always interesting and fun. We will always be grateful for the gift we received from you and Eve, our wonderful son-in-law Hawk, aka Bill. It takes truly good people to raise such an honorable son. Thank you. We know that you are now happy and back with Eve, the love of your life. You will always be fondly remembered and missed. May you rest in peace. Our love and deepest sympathy to your family on their loss.
