Please tell pawpaw Jake and mawmaw sug I said hello. I know you were greeted by so many of our loved ones when you entered those shiny gates. I promise to tell Jaxxon and Kowen all about you and your memory will live on. Sure will miss all the famous pawpaw concoctions you would whip up in the kitchen. I’m not going to say goodbye because its see you later because I plan to see you again one day with arms wide open. I love you pawpaw and the saying says if love could have saved you you would have lived forever.
