My Paw was a wise, fun-loving man who was dealt a bad hand for health starting when he was 8 years old with his burn scars. He went through more surgeries and hospital procedures than anyone I've ever known. Yet he still managed to have a smile on his face and giving someone "the business" all the time. He even endured losing a son (Rodney) early in life which parents shouldn't have to do. Dad didnt finish high school but yet he was such a smart man. His ingenuity and ability to fix things was uncanny. I was pretty amazed as a child and was lucky enough to get that ability from him (even though I could never shine the light in the right place). He loved his toys and music sometimes to a fault but that was his enjoyments in life. So, yeah, he wasn't a perfect person but are any of us? He is perfect now and singing in the high heavens. Go rest high on that mountain Paw, I will forever love and appreciate all you did for and gave to me. Love Jayder
