Dad
Mother and I miss you so much, and when the tears of pain start to roll down our cheeks, we remember the fun things we did together, and watching our fav movies, and mom saying honey Jo Jo driving that mower way to fast, and just all kinds of good memories we shared together as a family, like one of my best memories was when I went to our fav moore steak house and had the best thanksgiving and Christmas dinner picked up and brought to the house so when they woke up about 11:00 they were surprised, and dad just said you did it Jo Jo, and that's just of the wonderful memories in my heart.He loved to sit outside and watch me mowe the yard, and weed eat, and trim trees, and so much more we did together, and when he could not I took over, and after work I would always be there for mom and dad, and I`ve been with them for more than 20 yrs now, and mom never left his side through thick and thin, and she really took good care of dad.I know dad is out of pain now, and at peace. He has a lot of family, and friends that will miss him dearly. We love you! Edith,Jo Jo,Mike.

I met Bill years ago when his daughter Cindy became part of our family. He was always kind & welcoming when I visited at his house. I remember his smile,& the brightness in his eyes, and the softness of his voice. Bill will be missed by all who had a chance to spend time with him. So proud of Cindy for taking such good care of her Dad & being there for him during his illness. Cindy you will have the best memories to reflex back on when your heart starts to heal from your loss.
