Vicky,
I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine the pain that you are going through. I know that the Lord is with you holding you up. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. God Bless.
Bud, I not sure I can make it to your Dad's service but I wanted you to know that I always thought a lot of J.W. and we will have you and your family in our prayers. I know you a struggling now having been in you position, but trust me, over time you will carry those good memories and draw strength knowing he is in a better place.
Cotton was a good friend and fellow Mason. We have a lot of memories. My prayers are with his family during this time.
So sorry for your loss. I will miss wilt on our evening walk. He would always wave and holler at us or come out and talk.
Grandpa: Me and you I believe had a special kind of relationship. I have not been the granddaughter I could have been since I have been grown. with that being said u was not the grandfather you could have been. There was always someone there to put a damper on mine and your one on one time. But we always managed to sneak off to palarm or check on the rental property. And we would gossip and talk about people and things. Laughing and shooting the shit. I respected you as a person and business man. But most of all you always kept it real and never sugar coated any life advice you had to give me. Wether i asked for it or you just making your opinion known. I will always remember our talks and life lesson speeches. Those trips where you put me first no matter who got mad about it meant more to me than you will ever know. I love u grandpa
The Mimi (Martha Griggs) and I are very sad for his death.
Thinking of yall!! Be strong & I love you very much. So sorry.
Go home and be with those that left you behind. We'll meet again when the time is right. Love you, Grandpa!
U will be. missed
May the Lord comfort you in this time of loss. Cotton will be greatly missed.
Sorry for the loss of your father. Prayers sent.
