I was looking something up on the website and it does not seem like it was over a year ago. I was close to my grandparents and miss them so much. Sure is a lot of memories tho.
In loving memory of a kind and gentle soul.May God comfort the hearts of the family during this time of loss. David & Sheila Tackett & family, Plymouth/Willard
Grandpa was a very loving, giving and kind man. I pray he is in a better place where he can be himself. My prayers go out to my mom Mary Ann who I know dropped her own life when ever he was in need. God bless you both and may God ease your pain.
With love to all my cousins,I share your sorrow for your beloved father[my uncle]Love Billie
