I loved my grandpa, he was the best one ever. He took me many places, and taught me many things. My fondest memory of my grandpa is when we would go for walks and he would run up in front of us, jump in the air and kick his heels together. He taught me alot on that trip to Washington. I love him alot, and will miss him tons.

My Dad. He left me with the best memories. He took an old house and made it into a warm, loving home. He played with us on the banks of the Arkansas River. He took us on fabulous adventures, in a little red VW Bug, to the tops of mountains and deep into caverns. He took us camping at Table Rock Lake and in our own backyard. He coached my summer softball team at Beech Lake. He taught me how to drive a stick shift in that same little red VW. He made me feel safe and loved. He gave advice when I asked, but never criticized or interfered. He was always willing to give us a helping hand. He loved to travel, read books and play games. He was good at everything he did. I think he enjoyed working with tools in our backyard workshop, because he did it a lot and created many wonderful things. He was always proud of his children. I will miss him greatly, but these memories will warm my heart and remain with me always. Thanks Dad, for being who you were.
