Not sure what to say?

I will always remember how Grandaddy Brock was the only person who could distinguish the difference between Kemah and I's voice. he said, "Kimora, I can always tell which one is you because your voice is low like the tone of your viola." I miss you very much Grandad. I love you.

Vivian and Grace with Uncle Tom Brock

My Dear Uncle,
I'll always remember your quiet elegance as I reflect on my father's brothers. James Edward was the funny uncle, Harvard was the spiritual uncle, Arthur was the deep uncle and Tom was the classy uncle. It was always a pleasure seeing you over the years at family gatherings and I'm so very happy that you got a chance to spend a little time with my wife and daughter at your 90th birthday party a few years ago. Yours was a quiet dignity and we'll never forget you. Thank you for...

Family outting in DC 2012

I will miss your gentle kindness. You played a vital role in the lives of my children- the role of Granddad. Thanks you for all the stories about the family. R.I.P.

Daddy you left me with so many great and inspiring memories. But most of all you left me with a heart full of love. Living on underwood st.

Pop Pop, I will miss you so much. You were always there for us, and I guess I always expected you to be. It is tough to know that I can't hug or talk to you anymore. I always felt a hundred times better after seeing you or talking to you over the phone. I know that you were proud of me, and I was proud of you too. Not many kids can actually say that they think their grandfather is cool. Well, I always did. But more important than that, you loved me, and you let me know it. There is so...

That small apartment across from the Kennedy center by the Potomac.
The interesting trinkets you had and the ticking sound of that 'bug scare away' machine that you couldn't hear anymore once you had been there for a while.
You used to drive so fast in that green Cadillac . We'd slide across the leather seats like a roller coaster. Those apple cakes were the bomb and you'd always send us fruit cake on Christmas.
I couldn't wait to stand on your balcony so I could see the Washington...
