Great Grandpop
I will always be your princess and pride and joy. It hard for me to deal with you not being here. I am so use to seeing you and hanging out with you . It hasnt been easy but I been being a strong girl for you I know that what you wanted. I love you so much and will always remember you and talk about the great times. Love your little princess Leanna little miss nj east coast usa.

Great Grandpop I was always your big man like you said. I will remember you being so funny. Also making sure me and leanna was ok and taking care of use. Always going places with you. I really miss you alot and wish you was still here. But I know you are looking down on me being my Angel. Love you so much Tyrese.

Great Grandpop I know I am a baby but mom will remind of you and how you was.
But one thing that will stay in my mind is what you said in the hostipal. That Tyrese was your big man, Leanna was your princess pride and joy, and I baby Lawrence was your new gift and your little man. Great Grandpop you will always be looking down on me watching me grow.
Love you Great Grandpop from baby Lawrence.

Grandpop
I can't believe your gone. I will always remember all the trips and McDonald's days. I will always remember you attending my baby shower. That meant the world to me. I cant believe I wont see you no more. We were together from the start to finish. I will remember all the good times and joking around. Grandpop you always made me laugh. I will remember before and after your surgery how you made me laugh at the hostipal. You joking about putting Eagles onesie on the baby knowing I'm a Dallas fan. Will Grandpop for you I will cause I miss you so much. I know we talked about taking that big vacation any place you wanted to go. Now you can go anywheres you want. But know the special big trip we was talking about you will be there with me when I do go. It saddens me that I was coming in the room when you passed.
Love you forever see you in the next world.

Great grandpa I am so glad I got to meet you before you past. I know I was only a newborn. Mom will always remind me how great you was and show me pictures. I wish I could experience what Tyrese and Leanna did. But you would have been the greatest great grandpa ever. I love you and will miss you so much.
Love Baby Lawrence

Today we celebrate your 71st birthday. You helped raise many of us to be great young adults. We can never forget how much you loved us. I will always remember our talks and when I called you from Tennessee, you refered to me as your hillbilly granddaughter (always made me laugh). I will be forever grateful for the love you showed to me and my family when we came to see you and mamaw you are sadly missed, but will never be forgotten forever and always loved in my heart ♥️

To my loving grandfather

You made me strong, independent and self sufficient Everytime I talked to you,you told me how proud of me you were. You will forever be in my heart and I will always remember our conversations we had. A life take way too soon. I Love You Pop
