Uncle Hulon was a very special Uncle to us. We were so blessed to have him as our Uncle, Our Friend. Thank you Lord for the time that we got to share with him, we will miss him, and words cannot express what we feel in our hearts, but knowing where he is and that He doesn't have to suffer anymore is comforting. THE GRISSETT NEPHEWS AND NEICES.

To my sweet Brother: You was a very special one and only Brother to me. I know you are now rejoicing in Heaven with Mother and Daddy, Eula and Mary today, and I am looking so forward to that day that I will be there with all of you. Our loss is surely Heaven's gain. All the wonderful memories that you left us, we will always cherish them and keep them close to our hearts. I remember that my boys, when they were young, because I always called you Brother, they would call call you Uncle Brother, and when you was coming home, their daddy would always make sure we prepared for you a big seafood feast. That was just a small part of the many precious memories we have of you. And after Daddy went to be with Jesus, you became more like a Father, and also after the Lord took my kids father, you came to our rescue, and was always there for us to talk to. I would like to say thank you to all of the friends and family members that has called and offered your sympathy and memories with us since the announcement appeared in the obits, thank you for the encouraging words. I miss you my Brother, you just enjoy your heavenly home, you are not suffering any more.
And even though we missed you after you left for Arkansas, we are glad that you got to share your last days with your two girls and those two precious grandchildren that you loved so much.
Your Sister, Janette and Charles, the kids and grandkids

Mere words cannot express the heaviness in my heart over my only brothers passing, though while it is his gain and my loss, it gives me great comfort knowing that we will meet again in Heaven. I am looking forward to that great reunion day! May Gods comforting, loving arms encircle our nieces and their families, and all family members during this most difficult time. My heart is broken that I am unable to be with the family during this sad occasion.

For my sweet Brother. You was always a very special brother to me, the wonderful memories that I hold so dearly to my heart can never be erased. Not only were you my one and only Brother, besides my husband and my children and their Father, you was my VERY BEST FRIEND, and since God called our Dad home, you certainly filled that void for me as well. I was so blessed to have YOU for my BROTHER AND FRIEND. NOW YOU GO AND HAVE A GLORIOUS TIME WITH DADDY AND MOTHER, EULA AND MARY until I SEE YOU THERE. I thank the LORD that you do not have to suffer any more. Our loss is certainly HEAVEN'S GAIN. Your Sister, Janette and family
