Grandaddy it is truly hard to believe you are gone. You were one of the funniest people that we knew, we always looked forward to going over your house and hearing stories of you being in the service. You were so full of wisdom and even today i find myself wishing i could hear your voice again. You were so full of wisdom and i wish i could see you one more time. Grandaddy we miss you sooo much, hope to see you again someday, love you always, Jeffery and Courtney Lanier

It's been over 2 weeks since you have departed with this world and still, I find it hard to believe that you are really gone. Although I know that you are in a far better place, with no more pain or suffering, it still doesn’t erase the fact that I miss you. Too late for the shoulda, coulda, woulda's. There are no do overs in real life. I just hope you know how much you meant to all of us. You taught us all life lessons that we will cherish and pass on to our own children. Granddaddy, you were a great man. Never will there be a man as benevolent & amiable as you. We venerate you as the man that you were, the man you will be remembered as. I thank you for everything you have ever done for me and just for being there. I dont think I told you this enough,but I love you.

Granddaddy, I guess I have been somewhat procrastinating on signing this guestbook because although we all knew it was coming, I still find it hard to believe that you are gone. I want to be able to rejoice in knowing that you ARE in a far better place but I cant help but to miss you. In my eyes you were the rock that kept this family somewhat in one piece and I am afraid that without you, we will all fall apart. You ARE a great man, no other will even come close to being as caring and loving as you were towards every person you came into contact with. I thank you for all that you taught me and all that you have done for me. I dont know if you knew this but you taught us all countless life lessons that we will cherish for a lifetime (and will pass on to our children). It's because of you (and my mother) that I am the strong independant person that I am today. And I thank you for that. You may be gone (and greatly missed) but your memory will live for a lifetime.
To my family we need to come together and be closer as a FAMILY. We need to be there for one another and spend more time enjoying eachother because when all else fails family should always be there. It shouldn't take a death to bring us closer and only for a brief amount of time. We should be able to call on one another and know that someone will be there to lend a hand or a shoulder. We should treat each day as if it is our last because we never know when our time will be up. We should take every possible oppurtunity to embrace eachother and show how much we care and love one another. Our family should be a support system for every person within it. Don't take offense, I just think we should be closer, I think Grandma & Granddaddy would want us to be that way again.

Hey old man everything is good besides the fact that i'm missing you. The gathering for your name was outstanding and something i will remember for the rest of my life. Everyone, had nothing but good things to say about you (like that's a odd thing). You went away with respect and honor the way you would have wanted it to be. I miss you and just wanted to stop by and say hello. Take care of grandmother and i'll be in touch...

Letter From Heaven
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness;
Here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through.
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again,
you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, They'll be here later on.
I need you here badly, you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man,"
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years.
Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry: it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too;
That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain;
Then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented...that my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low;
Just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street
and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go....from that body to be free.
Remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me!
