Brittany & family:
I am so sorry to hear of your grandfather's passing. I just spoke with my Aunt Billie & Uncle Clinton who were very close friends with your grandparents. They said that you read a very sweet letter at the service and I'm sure that your grandaddy is very proud of you! May your memories help get you through this rough time. Remember, he is looking down on you and will continue to watch over you.
