Grandfather,
Thank you for always being there for me. Most of what I learned in life, I learned from you. I'll never forget our camping trips, your clever sayings (40 miles from the table, cooling Dallas County, be purty), and losing at card/domino games to our female opponents. We will miss you every day and we have comfort in knowing that you are resting in eternal glory.

Save me a seat at the card table. Maybe we can win one beyond the veil.
