April 1, 1883

This is a tribute to the wonderful Grandpa that ties us all together. I can never picture him in my mind without a smile.
Now as a Grandmother, myself, I think of his wonderful example of taking time and loving each of us. Grandpa always had
time for us.........I loved him so very much. In the picture on the left, he has Tommie Lou on his lap and the picture on the right
is Tommie in front and I am in the back. It sure was the simple things in life that made us "giggle" as children. My brain just will not wrap around 125 years old.
To each family member~ I wish you a special day today! To all the rest, I wish you would have known my "Grandpa".

I wish I had known this man. I kept thinking today...this is someone's birthday...could not remember whose. Now, I know what I was trying to remember. Patsy said he would always say things about my white hair ...but I can not remember him at all.

My father thought he was the greatest man who ever lived...I guess he was.

I thought of grandpa on the first of april. He set an example for us to live and one to show us how to die. I expect to see him again on that day.
