We regret that we were not able to come to the funeral. Marion tried both days, but was not physically up to the trip. We thought a lot of Grady and his whole family. Friends since the early 1970's, we spent many happy hours gazing at rusty auto parts and enjoying good times. Somewhere along the road we got old and rusty too. Sadly missed by Marion and Vicky Fannaly.

Papa,
You are the greatest person in the entire world. You've raised me like your own child, and you made me the person that I am today. I cant even imagine my life without you. God now has the most perfect angel up in heaven with him, and I know your in good hands until I am up there with you. God didn't have to give me a dad, because you were mine from the start. <3 I love you more than anything in this world.
