I do not cry for you, I selfishly cry for myself. I wish I could have said "God bless you", or hugged you one more time. I will never forget walking with you to bring the cows home or riding on the tractor in the field. You were always so protective, so strong. Rejoice with the Father in Heaven Grandpa, where I know you are brave and strong again. I love you; I will never forget you Grandpa. God Bless You! Shelby
