Paw paw words can not describe how much you mean to me. I looked up to you in so many ways, you didn’t just talk about Jesus but you actually lived it out what a wonderful Godly example! Steady constant and just a joy always to be around. I will always cherish the memories we have, from watching cowboys to walking around helping you in the yard an talking an walking around the Nieghborhood , Cowboy loves you very much, tell mimi we love her too we will be seeing yall again but until then we surely will miss you!!
Those who touch our lives, stay in our hearts forever.
I have such wonderful memories growing up and spending summers and holidays with you and Aunt Ann, Mark and Sonya. You never once made me feel unwelcome. Your life was truly a life that mattered and a blessing to me!
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day….
Uncle Lamar, I’ll never forget our hiking trip to Big Bend. Thank you for the kindness you always showed me, and legacy you leave behind. Till we meet again…
