Not sure what to say?

Until we meet again. I love you Daddy.

Papaw was a wonderful man and I feel very blessed to have known him. Shawn and I enjoyed visiting Granny & Papaw when we lived in Chicago and we’re grateful to have spent some of Papaw’s last days together. He always made us feel so loved, we will cherish our memories and will miss him until we meet again. ♥

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

We never want to say goodbye to our dear friends or family but God Picks the time for each of us. We love Joe and Virginia so much and will miss him terribly. We have so many fond memories. God bless you Virginia and Regina and may you find comfort in many wonderful memories, we love you,Gil & Ruth

We didn't do a lot of the things that ward Cleaver and Ozzie Nelson would have done, but connected in other non-traditional ways. Went hunting with him twice. Once when I 'killed a mailbox' and the other was with Grandpa Hoadley and Kanneth when I 'ruined' the pelt of the 'possum' we had treed. Grandpa Hoadley was pissed, but it is a funny memory now. Never fished or saw the Cubs with him, unless it was on TV. I worked with him as a Laborer at US Steel one summer and learned the tools of his...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
