My dad always introduced me as "his baby" as I am the baby of the family. I enjoyed working on the cars with him, climbing on the roof to fix the antenna, and I loved going to church, especially the one in Sunland. I loved to sweep the hair at the barber shop, never expecting to get paid, but he always paid if we worked, no matter what we did. He taught me how to change a tire when I was around 10 years old and also taught my son the same when he was 10 years old. I loved learning the old ways, which were usually better than the new ways, especially when it came to healing. I still practice his cures because they work. I will miss him but will never forget what he taught me.

Dear Grandpa, You were one of the most giving, generous, gentle men ever. You never got angry nor did you judge anyone. You truly lived your life the way Jesus wants us all to live. Love you, and I will miss you always.
