I will never for get when Dad Jim was in ICU 11/09, and you were there within just a few short hours standing right by his bed side talking to him just as if he was hearing your every word. I know you were whispering in his ear and sharing things with him that were all so private, and you never gave up you were up almost 48 hours straight and you were right there as he opened his eyes. I will never forget those big tears coming down your face. I just wish you couldve held on and gave him that chance to repay the favor to you. You could always make me laugh in the most stressful of times and at times you still do just that. We love you so dearly and will never stop missing you. Never goodbye, just see you later Son.

Do you remember last January we had a big snow and of course we could not get up the hill at our house. You wanted to go to Gran's house and you and Papaw Rich had to walk down the hill to the car where I was in order to get out. While you two were walking down the hill I think you fell at least 5 times and Papaw fell once trying to keep you from falling. Can you imagine what that looked like to me sitting in the car waiting? Then when you get to the car you had lost your cell phone which in your mind was equal to losing a diamond or something. So Papaw Rich gets out of the car and walks back up the hill looking for the phone while you and I keep calling the phone to help him find it. He walked all the way back to the house with no luck. And then he finally found it less than 20 feet from the car. We laughed so much over this---just one of many good laughs and lasting memories. Love you and miss you more than words can describe---Mamaw Sue
