    Logan, I am sorry for the loss of your grandfather. I know you were close with him and understand the heartache. As you lay him to rest, remember the good times and life lessons he taught you. They will comfort you when you need it most. If you need to talk, I'll be there to listen. Hugs from afar.

    Willy, i'm sorry for the passing of your dad. His life is much better now and he is with his good old friends talking fishing, guns, and farming, and most of all he is NOW with God, his best friend! Enjoyed the times he,you, and i spent messing with the farm, tractors, wells, concrete, and best of all i think he enjoyed the family "hog roast" you all had best. I will pray for you & Deb and your mom. I hope the family understands, GOD IS WATCHING!
