Papaw, I never thought this day would come so soon. I wish it never had. You were always a person i could go to when i needed anything! You helped me through alot over the years, and i'll never forget you Papaw! I made you a promise not too long ago, you asked me to take care of Mamaw and i promised i would. Papaw i plan on keeping that promise!
I know you've been gone for almost a week now but i still think of you as being here. The memories are still fresh in my head. but the picture that comes to my head when i think of you is walking into the living room and you sitting in your chair, watching westerns/wrestling smoking a cigarette. I'm glad that you got to watch your wrestling last monday! I knew it was something you would love. I will always remember watching wrestling with you! yelling at the T.V! and wanting so bad for one person to win but knowing that it was all planned before hand.
I love you Papaw! I never will forget you!!!!!
Love your grand-daughter Kayla

Daddy,
You were truly one of a kind and there will never be another like you. You were my fishing buddy and I will miss you sitting on the riverbank beside of me. I remember when I was a little girl and you would take me fishing; whenever I would get bored sitting there you would play babydolls with me a memory I will never forget. I am also glad that I am able to share the memory of your last fishing trip on June 7, 2009 even though it was only for about an hour and we didn't catch anything. I will treasure that memory forever. I awaited the day when you would feel well enough to go again and that day never came. Now your in Heaven catching the big ones. You were a very strong person daddy and I hope that I can be as strong as you someday. You will never be forgotten. I miss getting to tuck you in at night and tell you that I love you, but I know that you are no longer in pain. It's going to be tough traveling through life without your advice or your seal of approval, or simply without seeing your smile. I love you so much daddy. Love Daddy's little girl.

Daddy, I'm going to miss you so much. Life won't be the same without you. You went through so much in the last few months and never complained or got mad , just was strong through it all. I hope that I can be as strong as you. I love you so much and don't know how I am going to live without talking to or seeing you every day. You are the best dad that there will ever be. I love you more then I ever told you even though I told you every night. I won't say bye just good night I love you every night like I always have . Love Phyllis

Buddy was my brother-in law,he was remarkably kind to me.Whenever I had a problem with my mowers,he would fix them,and let me watch,so I could learn.He was a good man,and told me he was ready to meet the Lord.A good husband,father,grandfather and great-grandfather,he will be greatly missed.
