I love and miss you so much mawmaw Thank you for the lifetime of laughs, love, and memories you gave to us. Some of the happiest times I look back on are gardening with you and Pawpaw and playing for hours in your yard with the cousins. You were always looking out for everyone and keeping the family close, no matter what you were going through. Things won't feel the same without you, but I know you're always here in our hearts. I can't wait to see you again. - Lindsey Maw maw, thank you for always being there for me when I was little and through my whole life as I grew up. I'm so happy you got to meet Brylin and become a part of her life and spoil her like you did all of your grandchildren and great grandchildren. You were a huge part of all of our lives and we love and miss you very much. Mawmaw, thank you for always believing in me and pushing me to become a better person. I would not be the man or father I am today without your guidance and love, and support I am grateful for all of our memories together. You were an amazing person who never put yourself before the needs of others. Your many amazing qualities brightened everyone's day while in your presence. We love and miss you dearly Annette was a wonderful mother-in-law to me. She always treated me as one of her own children. I have so many happy memories of her.
