John was a wonderful papa to my son, Alexander and he was always nice to me. Alexander, his dad and myself took a trip to Tennessee to visit papa and Grammy. While visiting.. the Titans and the Broncos were do on the football field. I am a Huge Denver fan!
Well, papa was supposed to go to the game with a handful of his kids. He decided to stay home and play with his grandbaby and he gave me his ticket to the ball game!! It was the ONLY game I've ever seen in the stands! It was a Great game... I do believe the BRONCOS won that game!!
So, I will always be thankful that John gave me his ticket! Rest in peace Papa, I'll be seeing you, again....
Love, Jodi
