Papa, being your daughter-in-law for the last 41 years, has been such a joy! You loved to remind me that because I fainted, the wedding almost didn't happen. The way you would pause when I would say something stupid, just to have a dry but funny response, was priceless! Teaching me how to catch a crawdad, remains in my memory as one of the best vacations ever! I know I used to talk your ear off, always trying to update you on life, all in one visit. You use to tell me to slow down or don't take life so seriously; that was the best advice! I love you and will miss you big time! RIP Papa
