How do you ever possibly say goodbye to someone you loved so dearly?? You were such an integral part of our family. We loved you for the person you were, with your tough exterior and your gentle soul. We loved you for the way you loved our daughter and how you weren't afraid to let everyone know. We loved you for the love and support you gave our granddaughter, even if you didn't have to. We loved your sense of humor, your concern for family, your appreciation for even the smallest things, but mostly just because you were you!! It's been so hard to try to accept that you are gone, Chad. Yet, you will never be forgotten!! We had so many good memories of all the years you spent in our family. We love you more than words could ever say!! You were a great son-in-law, Chad, and you will be dearly missed!!

Our hearts are very heavy. We wish we could be with all of you. Loved our Chad so very much. And, to use the words of his twin brother, Chuck,"this is not goodbye, it's just see you later". Prayers and Love to Sarina and Chuck and all the family. Love all of you. Aunt Betty (Hillard) Ford and Uncle David
