You worked hard to always provide for us and never complained. I miss you so much and wish I could hear you say "I Love You" one more time. But I know you are no longer in pain and you and momma are together again. Hugs and kisses to you both, Love your baby girl. Poppa you gave us over 17 years of teaching, respect, strength, laughter, support and never ending love. The heartache of not having you here now is very painful and we miss you so much. But we know Granny is with you. We love you more than you could have ever imagined. Love Bubba and Sissy
