Pappy Tom,
"Make like a tree & leave." "Make like a tire & roll." I love you and miss you already. Don't worry, Gram won't be left alone, I'll be there for her. Even on the bad days, you still knew how to make me smile. You're in a better place and I know you're lookin' down on us.
"...and I'll take with me the memories, to be my sunshine after the rain...Its so hard to say goodbye to yesterday."
I Love You

Uncle Tom,
"I asked my mother for 50 cents, to see the elephant jump the fence, he jumped so high, he touched the sky and didnt come back till the 4th of July." You were one of the best uncles anyone could of asked for. Thank you for being mine. I will miss you and all of your funny jokes. Until we meet again.,,
