Hi Daddy, you have been gone 2 weeks today and it is just as hard as the day you left. I miss you and love you with all my heart. I wish I had one more day to tell you that I love you and to get one more hug and kiss. One more day to help take care of you....soak your feet and put the bandage on the one foot. One more day to fix your breakfast, lunch and dinner. One more day to cut the crust off your toast cut up your tomatoes fix your plate to hear you fuss that's to much food take some off then you want it back to eat the rest. Daddy one more day to see you and talk to you about anything and everything. One more day for us to be a family to laugh and to do all the things we use to do. Daddy you were a great dad and I am so glad God made you mine. I love you with all my heart and I miss you so much. I know you are in a better place and not suffering anymore but it is still hard here on earth without you... Love, Darlene

Nettie, I am so sorry to hear about Darrell, my life long friend, I am grieving alone with you, I loved him so much and he did me. When I think of my. Past, I Have such precious memories of Darrell, L.R. And Lonnie and David, we were a team. I will always think of him and his laughter, as we were growing up. He was more than a nephew, he was my brother. Everyone of you I lift up to our Heavenly Father because he knows your pain and will supply your needs to help as he is doing for me.. I wanted to be there more than anything, my love to all of you.
Love, Gladys Davis

It is so hard to not be selfish and want you back for one more hug and kiss. I wish I could hear you say "I love you",one more time. When I came into the family, I received so many blessings. Not only did I become the wife of an amazing man, I gained a new family. You'll always be my papaw and I love you so much. Your legacy will carry on in your great grandchildren, that were so blessed to have you in their lives.
