Pawpaw,

My life has been forever changed since your passing. I still look for you to be sitting at the breakfast table in the mornings when I visit Nanny. I miss not being able to watch the stories together and watch you fall asleep in your chair by the window. I still find myself trying to hold onto every word you've ever said to me just so I never forget the sound of your voice. I loved to talk to you on the phone because when it was time to go you never said goodbye. So...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAWPAW, YOU MAY NOT BE HAVING CAKE AND ICECREAM WITH YOUR FAMILY. SO I HOPE THAT YOU AND JESUS ARE HAVING A GOOD TIME TODAY CELEBRATING YOUR BIRTHDAY. DON'T EAT TO MUCH YOU HAVE TO WATCH ERVIN!!!!!!!!!!! I MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU VERY MCUH YOUR SISTER JACKIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pop, though my time with you was short you made a lasting impression on me. I will always remember you as a man with a kind heart and quick smile. You always made me feel welcome in your home and family. I miss you.

DAD,
TODAY IS MAY 4th, HAPPY BIRTHDAY POPS, I MISS YOU SO MUCH. I WILL ALWAYS TREASURE OUR TIME AND TALKS TOGETHER. AS LONG AS I'M LIVING I WILL KEEP THE FAMILY LAUGHING JUST LIKE YOU DID.
THE TIME OF OUR DEATH IS NOT DETERMINED BY ANYONE OR ANYTHING HERE ON EARTH. THAT DECISION IS MADE IN THE COUNCILS OF HEAVEN. WHEN WE HAVE DONE ALL THAT GOD HAS IN MIND FOR US TO DO, THEN AND ONLY THEN WILL HE TAKE US HOME--AND NOT ONE SECOND BEFORE. POPS YOUR JOB HERE ON EARTH WAS DONE, AND I...

Happy Birthday,

Paw-Paw you would have been 79 today. We know your spirit is in heaven smiling down on us. You are missed but will NEVER be forgotten. Today (May 4th 2009) we celebrate your life and all the wonderful memories you gave us while you were here. Your absence has left a tremendous hole in my heart, but I strive for heaven everyday with the promise that I will get to see you again.

I was looking forward to fixing you another HUGE basket this year with all...

Dearest Mom Mae, I know you must miss Paw Paw terribly, but I pray that you find God's hope, peace, and comfort in knowing you will see him again one day in Glory. You are continually lifted up in my thoughts and prayers.

Love always.
Pamela

PAWPAW AWAYS SEEMED LIKE MY FLESH AND BLOOD BROTHER, NOT AN ADOPTED ONE. I CAN REMEMBER AND ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT TIME MAMA WAS IN THE HOSPITAL WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL AND MY HAIR WAS LONG AND HE COMBED AND BRAIDED MY HAIR JUST LIKE MAMA WOULD HAVE DONE. I WILL MISS HIM BUT I KNOW THAT WE ARE ONLY LOANED TO EACH OTHER FOR A WHILE AND THEN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST WANTS US BACK. AND HE COMES FOR US WHEN HE IS READY. I WANT TO SAY TO ALL THE FAMILY LETS LIVE OUR LIVES SO THAT WE CAN SEE OUR PAWPAW...

The family of Alexander and Reeves are in my thoughts and prayers. I know how much he met to you especially to his grandchildren, Elanda, Ashley, and Marlon.

Mr. Willie was a great person and one whom I enjoyed knowing. He was always such a gentleman in every way. My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this sad time.
