As a child I remember stopping with my family to pickup Bill and Fannie to bring them to church. I also remember what fun it was when Eddie came to visit my cousin, Galen. He was so in tune to us as children, and always made us laugh. My sincere condolences to your family on the loss of your wonderful husband, dad, and grandfather.
Papa your physical presence here on earth will be missed, but we take solace in you being forever in our hearts. You were an integral part in Derek & Colleen's upbringing and I will be forever grateful for your love & support throughout the years. We will smile when we think of all the laughs and wonderful experiences we had with you here on earth. May God hold you 'til we meet again. XO Amy
