We have so many wonderful and amazing memories of you and our awesome Dad. We always knew that our family was blessed with true loving parents in a Christian home. That means so much. Ron, Sandra, and Cindy are proud to be your children. Our parents adored us and vice versa. It's the same adoration with the five grandchildren: Michelle, Skip, Ashley, Chad, and Courtney. Also, you're honored with four great grandchildren: Hannah, Kinsley, Tinsley, and Harper. You will be in all our hearts forever. We will meet you in Heaven and rejoice. Miss you
so much, but we realize God has a precious Angel in you. Love You Forever! Gail & Tommy
