To know this man, you had to love him. The funniest, loving person you'd meet. I got to call him my Papaw. He was the most self-less man when it came to his "Toodle Bug". From teaching me to swim, to wrestling late night in the bed and being so loud that Mamaw would have to separate us and you always ended up on the Dora bed. My memories of you before you got sick are faint because I was younger, but I remember a good bit. I won't never forget the day, I came to see y'all and every time I got around you, your face would light up and you'd smile ear to ear  seeing me and I always had you laughing about something. We were either laughing until we couldn't breathe, or we would sit there and pick on Mamaw. You fought hard Papaw. You overcame a lot of the odds when you first became sick, but I'm glad you were here to watch me grow up. It made me happy that you got to see Bentlee too, and I wish you would be here to watch him grow up to because if anyone knows you, they know you loved, loved, LOVED your grandchild. I know you loved Bentlee as much as you loved me, probably even more than you loved me. Watch over me and baby Bentlee. I know you'll take care of us along with our other two guardian angels. I can't wait to tell you all about him someday and be able to talk to you again. I love you Papaw. You fought a long hard battle, but it's time for you to rest. Rest up because we are going to have plenty to do when I get there!
