Stanley, Anna, Denice, Jennifer, and the Hysaw Family.......

So, where do I start? I guess I will turn my mind off and just type from my heart....

You guys my prayers, support, ear, heart, and love goes out to all of you. Grandpa will truly be missed but never forgotten. As the days go by we should all remember the moments we were allowed to share with him. The good times, the bad times, the ups and the downs, the happiness, the laughter, and the cries!
All these moments have engraved a special chapter only dedicated to him and that’s what we must hold on to. God has called his child home! A place where pain can no longer be found in any dictionary. A place where he can be free and no longer living in misery.

My bond with this family began about 18 years ago when I met his grand-daughter Denice in 4th grade. From then till now this family has kept me well within their reach =]. While in school I played sports and often was able to see Mr. Hysaw because he was the ticket person. No one was allowed to enter without going through him first. The days he worked our games he would tell me good luck and have fun. Outside of work, I would pile up in the car with Denice and her family and visit them. Yea that was my introduction to the "RED FRUIT PUNCH" (smile Denice). I would always ask for the fruit punch and he would just smile. So to all and everyone the Lord has called his son home, though we may think it was to early for him to go, it was the right time for him to claim his seat in Heaven. Though words go unsaid quite often do know Denice, Jennifer, Anna, and Stan that I love you guys dearly and all of you have been a major part of my life.

*** May He Rest In Peace ***
