Hi Paw Paw, You always made me feel loved and cherished. You lived in the present moment and were always there for your entire family. You expressed how proud you were of all of our, and that has helped me to get through school. I know you are in heaven looking over us, but you have always looked over us, even when being an angel on earth. No one can ever replace you in my heart, but I will try my best to be a better person because you always make me want to be a better person. Love, Lindsey
