Grandpa,
You've provided me with so much love and so many fond memories that the warmth in my heart will last a lifetime. I miss seeing you smile and hearing you laugh as I'd share my youthful moments with you. You knew I love animals, so together, we'd look at the bird nests, play with the kittens, feed the horses and cows, and confront all the other animals that would pass through the ranch. You took me on my first tractor (lawnmower) ride, you'd stand and watch as I played on the tire swing, and you taught me little tricks about keeping a garden. When you'd come to visit, I'd look forward to your warm hugs and comforting scent. I love you, and you will always be my grandpa.
Love,
Katherine Elizabeth Gilton

Uncle Baxter, I will miss you. I remember my days down at the ranch with the cattle, the quads and Aunt Tams mother. I will always cherish my memories of you. I know that you are no longer suffering, but you will be missed by those you have left behind.
