I cannot believe my papaw is gone. He was the best man I’ve ever known. No man will ever measure up to him and the hardworking man he’s been his entire life. We are all hurting, especially my grandma Ruth. We still needed him here, but I’m glad he’s no longer in pain. I can’t wait to see you in heaven papaw.
