Pappy you will always be in my heart I can't thank you and Grandma enough for raising me and the morals you have instilled in me through out my life. I love you so much more than words can ever express. Dad may you rest in peace and until we meet again I will keep my promise to you to take care of mom. I love you and a day will not go by without missing you. Your Grandson Bobby Jr.
