To My Dad....
I love you with all my heart and miss you dearly. Within me is still this missing part, you and Mom, that makes my heart ache. I can sit around all day and think of things that I want so badly, but it's the two of you that I wish were still here experiencing the things that my kids go through in life. Experiencing life with them and watching the things they go through and participate in, makes me think of yall so much. I always tell myself, "if only mom & dad" could be here. I know the two of you do look down on them and are their SPECIAL ANGELS, but I still wish for you to be near. I will say that you have definitely made an impact on all four of their lives, I see it always. They will always come up with something you have told them or did with them. They admire you and I am proud to say that because you are definitely ONE SPECIAL PERSON!
I love you and can't believe another year as gone by, but you are definitely never forgotten.
Love Always,
Your Daughter

My Dad...
Just wanted to wish You & Mom a SPECIAL day of LOVE. That is one thing I have to say, you definitely showed and spoke often about how much you truly loved Mom. And, you are always so sincere in expressing the love you have for her. I truly know that she is a special person to you and that you love her with all your heart as she loves you!
I Love You So Much & Miss the Two of You EACH AND EVERY DAY,
Your Daughter

My Dear Dad....
I have thought about you alot today. It's hard to believe another year has gone by. Many days I long to have you in flesh so that I can talk with you as we did before. You mean the world to me and I wanted to tell you again that YOU ARE THE GREATEST!
You always took things as they came to you and dealt with them the best you knew how, always thinking positive. I try so hard to make the best of things and always think positive as you did. Your guidance and encouragement still lives within me.
I miss you and love you so very much!
Love Always & Forever,
Your Daughter

Hey My Dad...
I wish you a Happy Anniversary. I know how deep your feelings were for Mom. You spoke of your feelings to me so many times. I know the two of you were truly meant for one another. Being the man you are, you always expressed your feelings no matter what and it showed in your eyes. I miss you so much and wish we could have those times again when you sat at my table and had our talks. Good or bad you always told me how you felt about things going on in my life and as I listened I always realized just how much you loved me.
I miss you so much and love you dearly. Until the day we meet again, please watch over me and the boys. I always respected your guidance.
I love you,
Your Daughter

Paw Paw,
First of all, Happy Fathers Day! I'm sorry I haven't written anything in a while, but that does not mean that I do not think of you or Maw Maw each and everyday. I just wanted you to know that I always did look up to you and I admire everything you have ever done for me or for anyone. I try my hardest each day to live the way you did. I've learned the value of hardwork and dedication towards anything thats important. I recently got a new job and I really love it. The work can be a bit much on somedays but I always remember what you used to say, "If something is worth doing, it's worth doing right." Thats what I try to do everyday, to do the right thing. Thats something that you taught me that I will always value. I'm trying to put that in the heads of the kids I'm coaching right now. I'm sure you are very proud of Ridge, Rusty, and Rhett. They all are doing extremely well in baseball this year. They all are truly great kids and I just want to thank you for rubbing off on them as you have rubbed off on me. I'm very proud of all three of them and most of that is due to the fact that you were a constant figure in their lives for so long. Well I have to get back to work Paw but I just want you to know that even though it is Father's Day, it is EVERYDAY that I think of you and Maw Maw. I love the both of you dearly and miss each of you every single day.

Dad,
Just wanted to express how truley I miss you. It's hard to believe that two years has past already. How often do I think of you and mom, how I remember the laughter, how I remember our talks, how I remember the things you've both done for me... I am so honored to have two beautiful parents in my life. The two parents that has always stood by me no matter what.
I think of you both and even though it still hurts, I feel so much love from the two of you.
I still feel selfish at times and wish for your presence, but I know I must go on for now, and I know we will be together again some day.
I love you so very, very much as always!
With All My Love,
Your Daughter

Hey My Dad,
Just wanted to say I miss you so much. I've been having a hard time lately, but I try to be really strong. It just gets to me that the two of you are not here with us. I do realize you are in a better place, but sometimes I wish I could look you in the face and talk to you. I am who I am today mainly because of you and Mom. I feel so lonely at times not being able to talk to the two of you. I know I have my boys and Kirk...and Shorty and Tiger (because I know they are always there for me), but I really, really do miss you both. I've been down lately and you are always on my mind.
I love you so much and I really could use a hug from you.
You are truely one of the greatest and I miss you so very much!
Love You Always,

Hey Dad,
Just missing you very much...
How I long for you to sit and talk as before (even though I've said that before). I had a glass of your favorite wine tonight. As you know, Ryan buys it for me sometimes as you shared it with us on previous occasions. Just really miss the time we spent together...talking, laughing, crying...you are so true to heart!
I have so much to be thankful for having a dad like you and a mom like "my mom". Of all the things I have learned from the both of you, it is "love". "LOVE" makes the world! To me, that is what's important in life...no matter what!
If any two people loved each other, it was the two of you!!!
Love You Lots! And will talk with you soon.
Love Always and Forever,
Your Daughter

As I said before and continue to...you are one of the Greatest!
Merry Christmas my Dad!!!

Hey Dad,
Just wanted to say I love you and miss you very much. I know you must be very happy now that Mom has joined you in internal rest.
I love the both of you very, very much as you both know.
Words can not describe how I feel now that the both of you are not here with us. I have attempted to go to the phone and call Mom more than a couple of times since she is gone. The first time that came over me, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I am so use to talking with her on a daily basis. She is a great person from the inside out. I have never been around someone that always found the good in someone else no matter what. She is definitely good hearted!
I know now that I have two "GREAT, LOVING ANGELS" looking over us.
Love you with all my heart!
Your Daughter,

Just thinking of you as always and knowing you are with us at this time. We all know Mom has and still is going through a great deal. Just knowing you are there for comfort and strength means alot to me.

I know the two of you love one another deeply! To the two best parents in the world...I love you both with all my heart and more!

To My #1 Person, My Dad:
Today makes 1 year since you have been gone from us, living as a human being on earth. I truely miss you and wish so much that you were here with us. I know you are in spirit, but how I wish that you were with us in person sometimes. I can not describe the way I feel at times. I miss so much sitting with you talking with you, I miss your hugs & kisses, I miss you asking me to do something for you, I miss your smell, your touch and just your presence. You are one of the best and I know why it was your call to go, but yet it hurts.
I understand, but I will always long for another time to sit with you. And yet, another one and another one.
Today you were on my mind all day...as you are many days. But it seems so hard to realize that you have left this earth 1 year ago today. I still picture you when the news came and we went in that room to see you for the last time in flesh and blood. You looked so peaceful, and I understood...but yes, there are days when I don't. I stop and realize myself how I am so much like you. I always wish I could touch you and look into your eyes and say "I love you", just one more time. But I know that is not possible now, but I also know you know how much I love you. You are always my strength because I remember, you are always my strength because I know what I have learned from you, and you are always my strength because I know what my boys have learned from you.
My boys and I speak of you many days as you know and you will always be a part of our lives.
We miss you so much, more than words can describe. It's funny how life is...you can see someone every day and love them, but realize it even more after they have left this earth. And wish they were in flesh more than ever after they are with you in spirit alone.
You, my dad, are the best and will always be the best in my eyes, more than anyone could ever ask for...YOU ARE THE GREATEST!!!
Missing you always and always loving you!
Your One and Only Daughter,

We have been winning our baseball games, we are now eighteen and four, we even won the state tournament which i'm your you already know. We are going to the world series in lake charles on the seventeenth thru the twenty-fourth. Now that maw-maw is better i hope she will be able to come to a few games even though we don't have many left. Well i'm going now so i guess i'll type another day.I know you know that I miss and love you dearly.

To My Dad...
Just wanted to express that I miss you so very much and wish I could sit with you and talk with you as before. There is not a day that goes by when I don't think of you.
One of the hardest days for me by far was "Father's Day". I had such an empty feeling that day. I wanted so much to have you with us. I felt so lonely without you that day, words could not express the feeling that came over me.
Life is hard to understand at times, but I guess I have to really believe all things that happen have a reason behind it.
We are dealt situations in life that seem unfair, but in the end I realize I have learned something from it and have gained so much more in life.
I will say bye for the moment, but just wanted to say I love you dearly and miss you more than ever.
You are the GREATEST in my heart and will always be!!!
Love You Always,
Your Daughter

Paw Paw,
I just wanted to tell you Happy Birthday!! Even though you aren't here physically, your birthday still has special meaning to all of us. It was on May 10th, 1931 that the person that I have looked up to my whole life was born. I would like to take the opportunity to thank God for bringing such a wonderful person into this world. Without you Paw, no one in our family would have had the opportunity to be the people they are today. I know you are proud of each and everyone of your children and your grandchildren. I still am, however, having a hard time coping with your death. Each day I long for the opportunity to sit and talk with you again. Sometimes I result to anger and depression. But the more I think of you, the happier I become because of all the good times we shared, and the good times we continue to share. I still love our conversations that we have. Sometimes I really do hear your voice. I know that you are looking down on me and will help me through everything that comes my way. Oh and Paw, please help us, the whole family, to help Maw-Maw. We try our hardest each and everyday to make her feel well, but I'm starting to think that she is starting to give up, and it really is affecting me. You know how much I love and care for Maw-Maw and it just kills me to see her down like she is. Please Paw-Paw ask God to send down the healing power of the Holy Spirit so that she can be well. We need for her to be here with us. She is the direct link to you since she was the closest to you. Well Paw, I know you will do everything in your power to help your wife, and I know you will do everything in your power to help us help her. Well Paw, I have to get back to studying. I have one more final on Saturday, and then I will have a drink to celebrate...I just wish it was with you. I love you Paw Paw and I still am looking forward to the day when we are together again.
RYAN
&
P.S. I attached a picture of me and my Mom from the race at Talladega. A race in which your boy Jeff Gordon won. And I won't lie Paw, I still hate it when he wins, but maybe not as much as I used to. LOVE YOU PAW!!

Dear Dad,
Thoughts of you are always going through my head as well as my heart. I miss you dearly; miss you more than anyone realizes. I try to be so strong for others as I know I should be, but yet I need my time alone. Words still can not describe the way I feel since you have left us. It's amazing that I look at your picture every day and still can not believe that you are gone. It seems as though yesterday you walked in my house and spoke words to me.
My life seems so different now and yes at times it is hard, but I promise I try my best to get through those days. Thank god I have my boys to keep me going because believe me it would be much harder without them. I know as well, it is a blessing for mom to have us around at times as well. I know she needs her time, but I know too that it is best for her to be around us and others. You know as I do, she needs encouragement as well as motivation at times. You know she probably felt as though you were her only strength, not knowing that she has strength all on her own. I know she gave you strength and encouragement as well; but I think sometimes she don't realize what she gives to others. If it weren't for her and you as well, I would not be who I am today. I thank god for the two wonderful parents that have given me such a meaningful life. And this...I see through my four boys who bring me so much joy in my life. Some are still so young to realize the extent of life's happenings, one has begun to understand the beginning of what it's all about to some extent, and my oldest...well, without him I don't know who I would turn to at times. He knows me more than anyone and "He" is my crutch, my salvation, and my mentor! Even though he is my son, he will always tell me what he thinks is right for me and what might be a wrong path for me. He is the one who always knows how I'm feeling and tries to help me in anyway he can. He is so true to heart and I love him for that. No one could ask for a better person than he is and I know...you know that! Of course...you have taught him so much and I want to tell you I thank you for all you have given him. You are one of the GREATEST!
Well I will say bye for now, but as always I will be speaking to you soon. I love you as always and I look forward to the day that we will be together again.
With All My Love,
I Truely Miss You!
Your Daughter,
Debra

Paw Paw,
Hey buddy, it's me Ryan. Merry Christmas! Sorry I haven't typed anything to you in a while, but that does not mean that I do not think about you everyday, because I do. Well, Christmas has come and gone, and I must say, things just were not the same without you here. I missed having that annual Christmas Eve drink with you and Uncle Mark. We had a really good time at Uncle Tiger's house for Christmas Eve. That gumbo was some good. And just like Uncle Shorty said, we sang and danced and had a lot of fun. But there were many sad moments too. It was a very touching moment when Uncle Shorty sang "I Cross My Heart" and when Uncle Tiger sang "Purple Rain" to Maw Maw. I don't think there was a dry eye in the room. I know if you were there you would have been singing "I'm a Fool to Care"!!
Well me and Uncle Dale are leaving tomorrow to go watch the Tigers play in the Capital One Bowl this Saturday. We are also going to Disney World. I hope they win, to send Coach Saban out on a winning note. I still can't believe he is leaving, but like you always would say, thats life, and a whole lot of money.
Paw, I just want to take this opportunity to tell you what a wonderful job you and Maw Maw have done raising your six kids. I could not ask for a better mother or better uncles. Each of them have something from you and I love being around them all because in certain ways I see you in them. Uncle Rocky has your sense of humor, Uncle Tiger has your soft hearted side and he sure can sing, Uncle Shorty has your serious side and he too likes to joke around like you, my Mom, well she seems to remind me of you the most. Which is funny because she is the only girl. She can be stern and strict, especially when her house is not clean, but then she is there to help anyone in need and to provide love when it is needed, especially for her kids. She is a hard worker who does not need much motivation to get things done the right way, much like you Paw. Uncle Dale is like you in the way that he works hard to get things done the right way. He also can be very serious, but then loves to joke around. And Uncle Mark, besides looking almost exactly like you, has your soft side also. He is always there to provide a laugh when needed too, just like you. I know you are proud of each and everyone of your kids, and I am proud to have them as a mother and five uncles. Thank you Paw Paw and Maw Maw for bringing these wonderful people into the world and for making them the people they are today because all of them have affected me in someway in my life, and I love all of them tremendously.
I also want to thank you for the best Grandmother anyone could ask for. It might have taken you three tries Paw, but you chose the right one. Maw Maw is the sweetest person that I have ever met, and I know I don't have to tell you that. We are all taking care of her and she is doing a lot better than what I expected. I know you have a lot to do with that.
Well Paw, I love you so very much and I think about you everyday. You are still the person who has the biggest impact on my life. I miss you very much and I am looking forward to the day that we are together again. I know you will be there with me and Uncle Dale tomorrow as we leave on our trip. And don't forget Paw, GO TIGERS!! I love you very much Paw.

Hey Paw,
Happy Thanksgiving!! It has really been a hard day, with it being the first holiday we have to spend without you, but I know that you are still with us. I just want you to know that this year for Thanksgiving I am especially thankful for one thing. That would be you Paw Paw. Every year for Thanksgiving I am thankful to have a wonderful person like you in my life, but this year it has extra meaning because without you being here it really makes me realize exactly how much you mean to me. I miss you extremely and I love you with all my heart. I am truly thankful for having the opportunity to be touched by such a wonderful person. You have changed my life in so many ways and I have become the person I am today because of you. I love you so much and I will never forget all the good times we shared. I will talk to you later buddy. Love you so much!!

Hey Paw,
It's me Kalib.I can't tell you how much i miss you because it's so much i'm not even sure. This past weekend I had a blast. Me, My dad, mrs Jeanette, Gabby, Olivia, Eric, and Jacob, went to Aunt Debra's house as you know Friday night. We all had a blast, but it would have been a lot better if you would have been there. The next day Ryan, Ridge, Travis, Jarred, Uncle Jesse (LOL), and I all went to the grave yard. That was the first time i had been to the grave yard sence the day you were burried. It was wierd thinking that you were in that hole up there on that wall. It also kind of hurt my neck, looking that high up to see you, but i guess it makes since if you don't want to drown, I wouldn't either. You don't have to worry about Maw Maw, even though I know you do, she's in good hands with our big Brignac family. I was real upset when my dad called me the night that you died to tell me, and i still am, but just like everyone else it makes me feel better when i think of the wonderful place you are. It really doesn't feel like you're gone, when i'm on my way to my dad's house I still think i'm going to come and visit you and Maw Maw, and then I remember that i'm only going to be able to actually see one of you. Friday night when we were at Aunt Debra's house, Ryan was going through some of the things in your car. I can't believe that you Paw would carry a weapon around in your car, but i guess thats just you looking out for your very lovely wife, and your always clean car. I also can't believe that you put that dent in your car, but it was something that we all got a good laugh at, one of the many things. Mrs. Jeanette also told me that she was carrying more boards to put on the house before the hurricane. I got a good laugh out of that too, but you gotta know though Paw, Mrs. Jeanette is a strong lady, i mean she was able to give birth to four wonderful children. Dad and Mrs. Jeanette are catching up with you and Maw Maw. Well i'm gonna go now, you take it easy, i'm gonna go and make you some more A's, and remember, Maw Maw is in good hands, I know you know because you raised a wounderful family. I Love You a whole lot, and Miss You greatefully. Come talk to me.
Love Always,
Kalib

Hey Paw!I am typing this letter to just tell you that I miss you dearly. It really hit me when I heard what happened and it hurts that you're not here in my presents anymore. I am truly blessed with the laughs,talks,and jokes that we shared. I am truly honored that you were my paw-paw because to tell you the truth, I think you were the BEST out of all! I can remember your face,voice,and laugh everytime I close my eyes and it makes me glad to know that you are with me each and everyday of my life. I know that you're in heaven and I bet that you are the best angel of all because you were the best Grandfather that ever lived on the face of the earth. Well, it's time for me to go and I just wanted to let you know that I LOVE YOU VERY,VERY MUCH!

Dear PawPaw,
We dont know how to say this but we miss you dearly.Thank you so much for what you have done for us.If we could see you we would say your the best grandfather we ever knew and the funniest one to.You alway made us laugh when you did things and a lot of it and you especially made us laugh when you said pull my finger.You made us laugh for days!Since we cant see you any more its hard to say how we feel.We picture you in our heads wishing you can come and say hello.All we have to say is now that you are an angel you can see us each and every day.But if you were a star we would wish you can come down like a shooting star to tell us good night and have a good day tomorrow.But if we could be a star or and angel we would make your every wish come true......but we are only children but also girls loving you!!!!We miss you lots and forever!
Love you lots,

Hey Dad,
Just wanted to say I miss you very much; I'm sure you know that...I always wish for one more chance to sit and talk with you. But I know if I had that chance, I would want another. I don't want to sound selfish, I just really wish we could sit and talk (and yes, have a drink) as before. I would love to hear you speak, hear you laugh, or even hear you cry as before.
I will always remember the time you sat at my dining room table once you retired and expressed your feelings about mom, "your woman" as you would call her. You cried as you spoke of how much you
appreciated her and loved her for all she had done. You said if it wasn't for her we (my brothers and myself) would not be who we are today. I agree with you because yes...she gave up alot of things and put herself last just for us. But I also want to say you deserve just as much credit; it was always a team effort. You may have been working and providing for us, but never neglected us in any way. You were always there no matter what we participated in to support us.
I also know that you were always
proud of us and loved us no matter what we did. I always knew that and realize that even more today because of all the comments made by your friends and past co-workers at the time in which they paid their respects to us. Some even guessing our names going down the line at the funeral as they spoke of things you would say about us in the past. Well, not mine considering I am the only girl which was a give away.
I have to say I was overwhelmed with the sincere thoughts and prayers offered by so many, many people. I always knew you were a good hearted, loving, caring, respected person being very close to you...but I have to say it is a great feeling knowing how so many others felt as I do, that itself says alot. No wonder you are where you belong today, you definitely have so much more to offer. You are a GREAT person.
I still feel an emptiness and pain in my heart for you, but I keep reassuring myself we will all be together again some day. I also know that you are looking down upon us, but I long for you to just walk through my door as you did before. Or I think about seeing you every morning on my way to work as I past Colonial Sugars and make that turn to head toward Hwy 3125 that I might see you riding your bike as I did many times before.
You were always such a motivational person, never giving up on anything, or yet making the best of any outcome. You always leaned towards positive things in life no matter what. You always made me realize that the most simple things in life meant more than anything in the world. You have taught me to be respectable, you have taught me to be considerate, you have taught me to be caring and appreciative, and yes you have taught me love.
You have taught me so many things and I thank you for everything.
I look at your picture everyday and say, "What a great man!". I definitely have no regrets because I have always felt we had a great relationship.
I want you to know I am taking good care of "Your Woman" (my mom) as I do appreciate her for all she has ever done and love her from the bottom of my heart as I do you. My boys adore her as they also adore you. I admire the relationship they have had with the two of you in the past and continue to have. No one could ask for two finer parents than the two of you. Next year would have made "50" years the two of you were married...that says a great deal!
Love You Always,
Your One And Only Daughter...
Your Loving Wife
November 3, 2004
My Love,
There are no words to describe the feelings I have always had for you and the hurt that I am feeling now that you are gone. You have been such a wonderful husband, dad, grandfather, and father-in-law.
Since you are gone, you could not imagine the lost I feel as well as the lost others feel. I miss your little jokes, and the times we laughed together. I really appreciate the times that you put yourself second, and worried about me first. Especially the day that you got sick and were hurting terribly, all you could think about was to tell the doctors to take care of my wife because she is a very sick woman. Even as you were being rolled into surgery, you were still making comments to please take care of my wife.
It always made me happy to see how much you loved the VFW. When there was something to be done there, you were always the one being called first to take care of it, and I know that you enjoyed it greatly.
Every night I pray to the good Lord, and I talk to you, as you know. I always tell you how much I love you and miss you, but at the same time I know that you are in a better place and that you were really wanted there with the good Lord. Knowing that you are suffering no longer and are in a better place helps, but still I miss you dearly.
Love You Always & Forever,

Hey Dad: Just thought i'd see how everythings going and tell you how much we still LOVE AND MISS YOU DEARLY.Last Wednesday Tiger, Travis, and myself went to Dales for a BIBLE STUDY,I must say i really enjoyed it and got some relief and closure for some of the people GOD takes from this earth. I know there's a reason but i guess i had a hard time understanding. Well i have to go for now, talk too you later.LOVE AND MISS YOU ALOT.

Hey. Just wanted to drop by and write a lil something to you. It's been a while since I've seen or talked to you but that's beside the point. Years cannot take away the memories I have of you. You were truly a great person who has left a big impact on the lives of those who are here. Now you're an angel in Heaven smiling down and watching over everyone and most importantly, you will never be forgotten.
And Mrs. Ruth just wanted to tell you again sorry for your lost. Love you and miss you so much.

Hey Paw, its Ryan. I just wanted to drop in to tell you hello. Last night was a weird night. I was at my apt. and I tried to go to sleep at about 2 in the morning, but I couldn't. I was thinking about you and an overwhelming amount of sadness came over me. Every time I would close my eyes to try to sleep, I felt your presence in my room. I would close my eyes and then open them, thinking that you would be right there. When I woke up this morning, I was sad, but then I got to thinking. I think that you really were there last night, even though I could not see you. I strongly felt your presence and after thinking about it, it really brought me some comfort. I still miss you extremely. I miss your jokes, your singing, your laughter, and most importantly, your love. But if I listen really hard and really concentrate, I still hear you laugh and joke around. I see you all the time in my head. I been thinking a lot about that night I was passing in front of you and Maw's house at about 11 pm. When I was surprised to see your pulling in that late coming from the VF, I pulled in and you couldn't have been any happier. You told me to come in and talk, and even though I was hesitant because it was so late and I didn't want to wake Maw Maw, I went anyway. We sat at the table and you poured us a little wine to sip on. Then you made Maw Maw get up so that she could sit with us too. It was nice to just sit and "talk" with you and her. Those are the memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life, the times we just sat and "talked." It never mattered what about, it just brought a smile to my face, and to yours, when we just had a conversation. That's why I have been talking to you a lot even though you have passed on. That was my favorite thing to do with you, well that and making fig cookies. Which, by the way, your sons and I will be doing next month at Uncle Rocky's, just like you were planning. It won't be the same without you, but we will try our hardest. Well Paw, I have some homework to go do. I MISS YOU and I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART!!
Your boy,
Ryan

Hey Paw,
It's Ryan once again. I just wanted to let you know that I think about you all the time and that I miss you tremendously. Today was a good day. We cut the grass and then I went to Uncle Dale's to help him clean out his garage. There were some good college football games today too. LSU didn't play but the other games were really good. I'm trying to decide if I should go listen to Uncle Shorty's band play tonight. They are playing right in Gramercy on the Airline by Zapps. Well I'm sure you are up there smiling down on all of us. Just want you to know that I love you and that I miss you. I smile every time I think about you, but at the same time I am sad because I wish you were here. I know you are up there singing "I'm a fool to care". LOVE YOU A LOT PAW!!!

Hey Paw,
It's Ryan again. It's been a week now since you left us. When I say that you left us, I mean you only left us physically. You will always be here with us in spirit. I feel your presence every moment of the day. Going back to school today was a little tough, but I know how important me going to school is to you, so I won't complain. I'm still going to try my hardest to "make you some A's." And I know that you will be with me every step of the way. I wish you could have been here today because Uncle Shorty cooked some darn good chicken stew. I'm sure you sneeked a little taste though. Well Paw, I'm going spend some time with Maw and the boys now. I know you will be right there with us. I LOVE YOU PAW!!
Your boy,

To My Dad...
As you know, I love you with all my heart and always will. I truely will miss you, but you will always be a part of me. My heart aches for not having you before me and hopefully in time that will ease, but the memories and love you have given me will always be remembered.
All the love and care you have shown towards me is so deeply appreciated and I try my best every day to carry that on to my four boys. These four boys I speak of,
Ryan, Ridge, Rusty, and Rhett, also will miss you a great deal and will always love you dearly. You were their "Paw Paw", but also in many ways like a dad to them. They think the world of you.
Again, I thank you for all the love you have given me and most of all I
thank you for all you have done to make my life a little easier. All the times you helped me with my kids out weighs anything you could have ever given me...THANKS AND I LOVE YOU DAD FROM YOUR ONE AND ONLY DAUGHTER,
Debra
To My Mom...
Just want you to know I am here for you for whatever you may need. I am here for you if you need to cry, talk, laugh or even to sit with in silence. I know you will miss Dad tremendously and in time the hurt you are feeling now will get better.
ALWAYS remember the wonderful times the two of you shared because it will definitely make you happy and put a "SMILE" on your face.
Please don't feel like you are alone because by far...you are definitely not. I love you dearly and as well, I know my four boys adore you.
I also want to thank you now for all you do for me and I want you to allow me to do anything for you to help ease your pain.
Love you from the bottom of my heart!
Your Daughter,
Debra

Our condolences and sympathy to the entire family. Especially Aunt Ruth, Rocky, Tiger, Shorty, Debra, Dale, and Mark. Even though we are far away, we want you to know we are thinking of you. There are many memories. All the Sunday afternoon visits growing up. I remember seeing him at DuPont during my first summer job. He introduced Becky to the family by sweeping her around the dance floor during our wedding reception. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
