Paw paw not a day goes by I don't think about you. I miss you so much. I'm still in shock that you're not here anymore. I still pick the phone up to call you thinking you will answer thinking that I'll finally be out of the nightmare that I was having but its reality. Today is the first since you've been gone other than the phone call I got that morning the day before easter that you were gone any bit of emotion it just seems so unreal still. You were the back bone to this messed up family trying to keep us together what was left of us but with you and maw maw gone there is no more left to this family. You was always there when I needed someone to talk to you or needed someone I love you and miss you so much.

I was taken with Smitty when I bought my washer and dryer. He always had a smile and talked about his grandson, he loved that boy. I went back and bought a frig for my granddaughter and then a month later I bought a whole kitchen for my new house. I would not have any other salesmen sell me. I will miss his great smile, and friendship. RIP Smitty you will be greatly missed. Prayers for you and your family

There are no words to explain the grief that we are going through with your passing. I will never forget the last day I saw you, I had to buy a dryer. I was coming up the escalator and there you were at the top just smiling. I said.. There's my handsome paw paw! You smiled and hugged and kissed me and as usual said hey kiddo! For all of us young girls.. You made us always sit in your lap in your recliner, give you a hug and kiss and tell you about how we have been. ( although the rest of the girls are skinner than me) I used to tell you if I sat in your lap, I'd either break the chair or hurt your leg. Your response was always the same... I got another leg, I ain't worried about it, now sit!. Lol. I'll always remember getting up and smelling your cologne on me after we hugged. I'll never forget you, and I am so glad that I was a part of your life and you were a part of mine and my kids. It still kills me that i didnt get to make you your baked mac & chz for Easter. I don't think i can ever make that dish again. Love you and miss you dearly paw paw larry. Rest in peace with the angels... Just behave while your there. Haha. Love you sooo much. Forever in my heart! ❤
