My sweet sweet grandpa. You were the best grandpa a girl could ask for.  I will never forget how caring you were for everyone you came into contact with- whether friend, family, or stranger.  You could be eating Thanksgiving dinner with your family and if a neighbor asked you for a ride somewhere you hopped right up without hesitation.  You were the definition of selfless. I will forever miss your sweet hugs, kisses, and “I love you’s”. The world would be such a better place if their were more you’s.  I love you so much. This isn’t goodbye, but I will see you again. 

My Uncle Ed was a great man who I've always looked at him as my second dad , so many great memories of him from being a kid at Grandma's and all of us kids sitting around the Christmas tree and Uncle Ed passing out gifts to our wild car ride to Tunica,Miss. I I'll miss him yelling at the TV game shows and him saying Shut the door I'm not cooling or heating the outside, I'll miss him cooking me his vegetable soup and miss his sweet potatoes at our holiday dinners. My dear Uncle I loved him more than he even new, I'll miss him so very much and love him always. My Angel My Uncle Ed I will love and I'll carry you in my heart until we meet again. I Love you, Your Niece Angie


I dont know how I got so lucky to have this sweet man as my grandpa.  He was my buddy, my friend, my hero.  The true definition of what a "grandpa" should entail.  The memories I have with him always lead back to humor and love.  To think I'll never get to hold him tightly, smell his cologne, or hear him yelling at the TV, breaks my heart.  I will cherish the short time we have had together forever patiently waiting to scratch those Minnesota tickets.  

Love,
Amber Dennison 

My dad. I will miss him more than I could ever explain.  I  will miss all his silly words he created and all his goofy actions.  I will miss our ice cream trips, our doctor outings, our casino and poker dates.  I will miss all his daily phone calls.  I will miss his voice.  Most of all I will just miss MY DAD..... I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART. YOUR FAVORITE DAUGHTER.

My brother in law was a very sweet man there's so much I could say about him he would help anyone he was a good man but good to all his family I know I will miss him terribly but I know he is with all his family in heaven now angels are among us not God bless him and all of us because we won't get to see him again in person but in spirit I love you Edward James

Ed was the sweetest client I  ever had.  He would bring me candy bars whenever we met.  Reminded me of my own Dad, a  kind and gentle soul.   I am so sorry for your loss.
