To all those who knew my dad.
It’s a couple days shy of 6years since his passing. I have to admit, it feels longer. The days have gotten easier as each one passes but my heart is still so heavy. They say “grief is just unspent love”. Guess I’m still grieving a lot, as I’m sure so many of you are. I just wanted to hop on and post to say I miss you dad and that every single day I think of you and think of every life you’ve touched. Mom, Tori, Aunt Libba, Aunt Ginny, Uncle John and dear Uncle Malcolm who is now with you. I know that you’ve been watching me and protecting me. Please continue to, as well as watching over all your family and friends. Everyone loves and misses you.
“I hope that all is well in heaven.... I know that I’ll find you in heaven.”

OHG. I am so sad and sorry about Bobby.
He was a dear friend and so sad that we did not stay in touch more. I was trying to connect up with him on Linkin and I did the Google and found out that he had passed away. I hope it was OK to open the book back up. Was not sure how else to send you guys a note.
Cifers house was a special place for me growing up. I will miss my old friend from Chattanooga
Love and my deepest sympathy
