  1. You have given us warmth, hope, spirit & unity. You have taught us so many things about life, living & how to be the best we can be. We have all learned the true meaning of family because of what you have given us.

    As I look back on the 26 years of my life, I think about the many things we have done together & I smile. The unconditional love you gave all of us – is priceless & we will never forget. Jeremy & I promise to teach Trinity the walk of God, the goodness in people & resourcefulness that you taught us.

    You have been an extraordinary husband, brother, father, grandfather, great grandfather & friend. I hope to aspire to be a person as generous as you. We plan to plant a peach tree in our yard in memory of you & your love for gardening. Trinity will know you as the wonderful man that you are & we hope to teach our future children the same.

    Please say hello to Matthew & tell him that we are doing well. I hope you enjoy many cups of tea & warm sunny days with God.

    We’ll meet again, don’t know where, don’t know when. But I know we’ll meet again some sunny day!

    We Love you more than words can explain.

    Hollie, Jeremy & Trinity
