Papaw, I miss you already. It will be hard to go through these years without you here with me. I'm going to miss getting the Christmas cards that you used to send, the phone calls and the visits that I used to make when I could make it in. I know you are in a better place now. No more suffering, no more pain, you can rest in peace now papaw with no worries. You can sit and talk to Mamaw and NeNe and catch up on what they have been doing. I can just see it now, you all up there laughing and hugging and being happy to be together again. I will always have special memories of you. I love you papaw and I miss you bunches!!!! Give mamaw and nene a hug and a kiss for me.

Dearest Dad I know you are no longer struggling to breathe, no more pain, grief or sorrow. You were my best friend and I am already missing you. It will be a rough road ahead not having you around, but I do have that hope of seeing you in Heaven along with Mom and Neysa. Heaven gained a wonderful man the day God called you home, I lost the best dad that anyone could ever have. I will truly miss your laugh, your smile, and your words of wisdom and most of all your love. You were admired by many with your musicial talents and your shoes will be very difficult to fill. My heart was smiling today at the funeral when many of your musician friends visited and spoke so fondly of you and your talents. Not only were you loved by your family but also by a host of friends. May you rest in peace now Dad and your days in heaven be much brighter and peaceful than those here on earth. I love you dearly and will miss you so much.

Dearest Debbie and family
My prayers are with you and your family. It is going to be tough for us all for a long time.He was my big brother and I adored him. I will never stop missing the sound of his voice, his strength, his laugh, his little stories and jokes and his music. I'm thankful we had him as long as we did. His suffering is over and we will see him again someday if we do as he did, that is repent and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
I love you
Aunt Mae Mae and Uncle Jim
