My favorite memories were before and during our wedding. The day you realized you had to wear a tux and dance with me. Your face was priceless and you made my heart smile.
You made me understand the importance of watching the sun rise and how it makes your day more meaningful.
You are dearly missed.
Hugs to my momma Rayburn, wonderful hubby, children, grand children, sibling in laws, nephews and nieces.

I was honored to have you as a father in law for 28 years.
My founder memories were before and during our wedding day. The moment you realized you had to wear a tux and dance with me. You did both under protest but you looked very handsome and you made me smile in my heart poppa Rayburn. You made me see that waking up to watch the sun rise is one of the most beautiful things one can do to start their day off right. We never ran out of things to debate on. I shall miss those things that we shared. Sending love and hugs to my momma Rayburn, Amazing hubby, children, grandchildren, sibling in laws, nephews and nieces.

I am honored to have You be my father in law for 28 years. My favorite memories were before and during our wedding. The face you made when you had found out you had to wear a tux :) you did looked sharp. And the dance with me. Even though you did it under protest you made me smile on that very special day. Tears are overflowing from our goofy debates. We never fail short with them. You gave me the desire to get up and watch the sun rises when you came to visit. Much love from your daughter in law. Hugs to you my momma Rayburn, hubby, children, grandchildren, siblings in law and my nephews and nieces.
