My love and prayers are with you Norma and Natalie. Natalie, I know all too well how it feels to lose your grandaddy. Still very new to me, as well. But the memories keep us smiling. And know he is looking down on you and keeping you safe. And like my grandaddy...he is back with his true love again. Let that bring you peace in this really hard time.

Norma, Sandy and family,

I was saddened to hear about the loss of your beloved father. You have been blessed with many memories and moments with him. It was evident to everyone who knows your family that he was loved and cherished by all of you. I'm sure that he knew how very much he was loved by you. Now he has been called to his heavenly home where he will be embraced with open arms. You are in my prayers and heart at this sad time.

I can still hear my Dad talking about the fun your Dad and my Dad had in their "younger" days in downtown Portsmouth.
