Papaw,
It's taken me awhile to write, but here goes... We all miss you !
I thank God for all the great memories
that we have, especially the hundreds of times we had Thanksgiving and Christmas with you & Mamaw through the years. The tree all lite, the floor covered with kids and presents, the smell of food cooking in the kitchen, and all the laughter that abounded. Those days will forever be etched in our memory. And, as the kids have grown up and I now have grandkids of my own, it still brings a smile to my face, thinking about the good ole days, and wishing that all the great grandkids could've known the love that surrounded us all at that time. And, there is the time spent with you & Joann, when y'all were home, that is.
(hee,hee) It's good that y'all got to enjoy traveling together and enjoying life. This brings us to our Special Memories of all the Christmas Eve's with family and friends and that great deer chili to warm us up. Christmas just isn't the same, because of all those loved ones that are no longer here. There will always be that special place in our hearts where YOU ALL will forever be.
I know you will enjoy your first Christmas in Heaven.
Love,
Beverly

Papaw,
I love and miss you. It's hard to believe that I won't see you again, this side of heaven. I treasure all our memories of Easter egg hunts with you giving all the grandchildren money even if they didn't get an egg with money in it. The Thanksgiving dinners with the great big ham and okra and tomatoes. And last but not least the Christmas Feasts. Take care of Grandma and we will see you all soon.
To Joann,
I love and miss you and I am praying for you. Only Jesus Christ can comfort you during this time. Proverbs 3:5&6
With all our love,
Renee and Family

JoAnn,
We will always have fond memories of Big Daddy trailriding, we loved to watch him on his Black Walking Horse. He was very special and will be missed and remembered in the trailride community.

JoAnn,
You are in our thoughts and prayers. "Big Daddy" was a very special person and will be missed by all of his trailride buddies. I promise next ride, we will honor him with a great big toast and a moment of silence. Don't be a stranger.
