Sorry to hear about your Dad. Wish we could be there for support. He is in a better place and isn’t suffering anymore. Just remember all the good times you shared with him. All Our Love and Prayers, Ted & Elaine
Grandpa, Through the years you have taught me so much, how to herd cows, mend fences (in more ways than one), drive a tractor, care for an animal, and most of all how to love. Thank you Grandpa. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be who I am today. As I promised you Wednesday, I’ll be down here taking care of Grandma and telling the kids stories about their Great Grandpa. Should I start with the time the bull road the whole way to the sale with his front hooves on the roof of the truck or the time you and your brother hit the train?….love you Grandpa. You will be so missed.
Love,
Bright Eyes
our prayers are with you and your family, brother in Christ , carl
