About 45 yrs ago you met my Grandma, the one of the best women I have ever knew besides my mama. You treated her six kids like your own. You loved her til she left us to be with God in 2006. You treated all of us as your own grandchildren and we had great times growing up. Then you met Joan and she shared her love with you and her children. You were a great man and I have held it in for many years but you were the only Grandpa I ever knew. Joan I am glad you gave him happiness after my grandma passed. I want you to know you are in our thoughts. Cecil give Grandma a hug for us and we shall all meet again one day. Now go rest high on that mountain for your work here on earth is done.
