I will miss you Granddaddy. I remember a lot about when I was a child...when we built the addition in the back of the church, gardening with you, working on the car, putting up the Christmas lights and picking out the tree and decorating it, driving to corpus and going over the dinosaur bridge, and so much more .... I only wish we had one more conversation one more talk one more chat with one another. I love you and will miss you.

He was a wonderful fount of wisdom, compassion and inspiration to me. He was a wonderful pastor and truly devoted servant of Christ. His belief in a better world and an afterlife closer to God was an enormous source of comfort to me, and I hope that it is for you as well during these difficult times.
