Granny, we now know Popo is in a better place. As Brianna said now he can play with Christopher. We will miss him dearly and we are so glad we got to spend Christmas together in Texas with you both. It was a special moment watching you both dance together and still laugh after all these years! What a wonderful foundation you both have built for our entire family. It is my honor to of had Popo in my life and learn from his wisdom and come to learn from the past all you both taught. I will think of him daily and remember what a special person he was to me and all. Words and thoughts will never replace him, but he will forever remain in our hearts! All our love, thoughts and prayers are with you now and always.

Love Chris, Angela, Brianna & Brandon
