I am Lawanna Cox- Byrd the first grand child to Maudie and George. They both raised me and took very good care of me, and later my children. I will miss my gdad's humor! He could always make me laugh in good times and bad. He would always tell me Wanna girl you are gonna miss me when I'm gone, I would laugh but now it's not funny at all. All I can say is I have over 4O PLUS years of memories to NEVER let go! I gave him flowers while living, and always told him I CAN'T never repay you for all you've done BUT I can tell you THANK YOU & I LOVE YOU FOR EVERYTHING. I did that every chance I got and I want the world to know he was my HERO! I will never FORGET his words of wisdom throughout MY LIFE. R.I.P. GDAD we miss you......
