"PA", as we always called you were always very special to us, and we will always love you and miss you very much! im sorry that we werent with you when you passed away, but we didnt know anything about you being so sick until the day after you had already left this world. You always came to our house with my Momma from 1988 until 2002 for every holliday, even hunting season which you enjoyed so much until my little Momma became sick, and had to be put in a home. You still were very welcome to be here cause you were part of our family, and we had a lot of good times together. You know we thought you were special, otherwise we wouldnt have named our only child after you and had her born on your birthday May 31, 1991! You always treated all of us chidren, Faye, Ronnie, Jake, Jeff, and me, Carla as if we were your own, and i will always treasure the good years we had together! I hope you are resting peacefully now and have no more pain! God bless you "PA", we love you! From your daughter, Carla, your son-in-law, Terry, and your grand-daughter, Malibu Lynn Cohenour<3
