Jenny, Maddie, Leah and Family, I got to meet your Daddy, Popsy and friend several months ago at your church at a covered dish lunch and again at Maddies' house, I feel lucky to have gotten to meet him, he was the kind of person that had a twinkle in his eyes and a kind of love for everyone he met in his heart. I will have you all in my prayers today and in the days ahead. Just remember that he is with your Mama, and his Mama and Daddy now. Sometimes on earth we forget that getting to go to Heaven is the ultimate prize for a job well done on earth. You will always have him with you in your heart. I know this from experience. All you have to do is think about him and he is there. God was so good to let you have him as you role model in life.
