Thanks Jody, I love you for sticking with me. Your responses mean so much to me. I hope you are going to be at the christmas party. I need to see you. It's so funny how I sometimes think about how Granddad would respond to certain things. Like today, for example, I went to church and one of our Elde...

Hello everybody. I was just sitting here and thought I would write to see how you all are doing. Yesterday marked the seven month anniversary of Granddad's passing. I handled it quite well. I also just heard yesterday of Leon Chambers' passing. I don't get the newsletter so I'm always out of the loo...

Hello My Friends, I just wanted to say hi to everybody. Not much going on here. Still missing Granddad very much. He visits me in my dreams all the time. In just about every one of them he's telling me to "hurry up and come on" cause he's tired of waiting for me. Maybe it's just wishful th...

Hi, Everybody, I was just sitting here thinking about all of you and of course of my Granddad. It's been 12 weeks, 3 days, and 15 minutes since Granddad passed. Every minute that goes by is still torture. Sometimes I think it must be unnatural that I still feel so lost, that he had this deep a hold ...

Today marks one month since I saw my Granddaddy last and thursday the 7th marks one month since he passed away. I had a relapse today when I realized a month has already went by. I'm still in a daze. Even though everybody reassures me in emails and phone calls that it will get easier, I still feel l...

Just a short note to say hi to everybody and to see how everybody is doing. I am doing ok. And that just about sums it up. Vangie, the scrapbook has worked miracles for me. I am finding peace and comfort by having it. Thank you. I love you guys. Charles Tilley, I'm slowly mending. I am very lucky fo...

It's nearly midnight. I'm not sleeping much these last few days. :cry: It's hard to put one foot in front of the other and move forward. Every thing I see, every song I hear, everything triggers a memory of Granddad. I guess that's good. I don't know. Thank you to Paul and Dee and everybody for the ...

Well, I buried my Granddaddy today. This has been the hardest day of my life. I would like to thank Jody Sanders, Charles Tilley, Albert Talley, David Wright, Mark Giles, W.J. Copeland, and everyone else who came to Granddad's funeral (Sorry if I didn't get all your names listed. It's been a emotion...

Hello to everyone. First I'd like to say a special thanks to Charles Tilley. Without his help this horrible news would not have been shared. My granddad loved all of you. He talked about all his friends and about the music and shows all the time. He would be thrilled to see that he made another head...
