I remember when you came to visit me when I was like 11 years old. It was the first time I met you and grandma. You played the bag pipes for me. I wish I would of known your more and the Donelson side of my family.

Grandpa, you're such an amazing person and I'll love you forever. I miss you already. You're truly were the center and the rock of our amazing and big family. I always looked foward to seeing you and enjoyed the times we spent together. I still hear you playing the bagpipes...Wednesday was my favorite day! I love you and thank you for being my grandpa. Rest well

Love you dad

You became my father when I was 9 years old, and you were the only father I ever knew. I will always remember the good, happy times with you in that roll. You made my life better. Even when you were upset with me for something that I did, or that you thought I did, I have always loved you through it all. Thank you for being my father.
Your daughter,
Nancy
