My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. You are very special people.
Papa, Words cannot explain how I feel right now. I never thought I would have to tell you good-bye so soon. You were the best grandfather anyone could ask for and I will forever cherish our memories. I'll never forget riding on your boat in the very front so I could get wet when you hit the waves. I never will forget the first time you showed me how to shoot a BB Gun. And I will miss seeing you outside every time I pull up to grandma's house. But, I know you are in a better place and you are catching fish that we have never seen here on earth. I know you are keeping grandma Donie and papa Keith on their toes. And I know you are enjoying singing with the angels. I am so glad you are healthy and happy now even though I will miss you greatly. Love you papa!
He was a very good man. The last few months of his life he was in church happy and thankful despite the pain of medical conditions he was going through. He loved God and his family very much. He was very friendly to me as I am sure he was with everyone that knew him. Candy always had good things to tell me about him and I could tell she loved him very much. It is very sad to lose such a great person but I hope his entire family can at least find a slight comfort in knowing he is in a better place now.
Papa I love you very much. I miss you alot but I know your in Heaven and I will see you real soon. You were a great man full of love and courage. You were always willing to help out in every way you could. Your a great man of God, I love you!
Papa, words cannot express what a great man and grandpa you were. I will remember all the great times we had together, especially the holidays. I will always remember that unforgettable smile, the one that no matter who you were you always knew you were loved. I know that your in paradise now and one day we will all see you again. I love you so very much, and I will miss you greatly. God blessed you Papa.
Dan will be missed greatly by me and all of my family. He took me in as his at the age of 3 and raised me. Dan was always there for me whenever and for whatever needed. I knew that if he and mom didn't have what we needed they somehow made a way to get it for us. Dan left this world not a wealthy man as far as monetary but very wealthy in love from his family. I know God was with him through his sickness and took him home before he had to suffer too much and that I thank God for. I love you Dan-have lots of fun catching all the heavenly fish you can and save some for me-until we meet again! Love you,
Donna
Grandpa Dan,
I am so sad that you are gone and I'm so sorry that I wasn't there to see you more and to say goodbye. Jeff and I, and the kids we will miss you more then words can say. I will miss talking to you and giving you hugs. Felicia, Jeffrey, and Noah they don't understand but I just told them God needed another helper in Heaven and he chose you because he knew you would be the best helper ever. i wish I could have been there for all the family and I love you always and will miss you but I know that you are in heaven with all our other loved ones and you're taken care of. You aren't sick and tired anymore and are in a better place. So see you in the morning Grandpa Dan. All my love Darlene. Grandma Wanda and all the rest of my family, Jeff and I love you and miss all and we are thinking of you always. God bless you and keep you safe. Darlene
