Not sure what to say?

I still think of Uncle B.J. often. He had an odd, infectious laugh and always had a jar of ice tea. He was indeed a character.

Smitty...what can I say I have considered myself a part of your family since the day I met you. I will never forget you. You were truly a good friend.

Uncle BJ, never without his cigar, and his smile. Lets not forget how he could tell you how you should do anything and everything. God Bless him and the memories he left us with. He will be missed by all. Our hearts and prays are with all of the ones he touched and left behind.

My Uncle BJ, what can I say but that I have so many memories of him. Even though he was the oldest and only son, he was and will always be remembered as the Baby. No one could help but wait on him even I as strong willed as I am bent over and tied his shoes without a thought. He really got a kick out of that and always reminded me of it when i talked to him.
Growing up in the valley and spending coutless days with all my cousins, Uncle BJ and Aunt Eleanor will be some of my most...

Grandpa,
Wow what can I say....all I know is that I am going to miss your laugh, your smile and your attitude just about everything. You are truly a man that will forever hold a special place in my heart. I will never forget you and the memories we share as a grandpa & his granddaughter. I love you forever n always!

"I could not have asked for a better Dad, no matter what he was there for me. True I had to listen to him tell me what I've done wrong since it wasn't his way, he was there every time. Dad I have lost a piece of my heart that will never be replaced. I shall carry you with me in what is left of it. I truely miss my Dad more than any one will ever know. I know you are in a better place and you can pick your grass there. All my love Mary.
