well, Hunter’s here. He looks just like Jackson…
I still miss you everyday, I’d give anything for you to be here to meet your new great grandson, and Jackson would love to have his pawpaw back…he looks for you all the time at mawmaws…were moving in with her tomorrow…its gonna be rough, to say the least. But it’ll be good for her, Jackson is her therapy that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg (i.e. the casino). Eric’s moving with us too…he’s great with the kids, Jackson may as well be his blood son, some days he likes him more than he likes me anyway. haha. We had to bribe him to come see me in the hospital by telling him Eric was up here…just wanted to stop in and catch you up on some things and tell you that I still love and miss you..
I wish you could be here for Jackson’s birthday pawpaw. He still looks for you everytime we go see mawmaw. I miss you so much.. Love you.
Mr. Pud was a great man. I always considered him my friend. My deepest sympathy to the family.
we love you pawpaw, and while we may all be having a hard time dealing with you being gone, its comforting to know your in heaven now, having a cold one and gambling with aunt Sue.
its not goodbye, its see you later.
May my father-in-law rest in peace, he will be missed terribly.
We love you pop…
