You are loved beyond words,
Missed beyond measure.
Your life was a blessing,
Your memory a treasure!
I was only about 6yrs old when Granny died but I do have memories of her but I knew my Grandpa Hall. I loved my Grandpa with all my heart and I know he loved me and I will never stop missing him. He never drove a car, walked everywhere, knew everyone and always had good things to say, never negative, always appreciative of anything you done for him and I loved to hear him tell stories about Newton County. I only wish I had written down everything he told me. I miss him terribly ~
On a lighter note, I never seen Grandpa in a colored shirt. He always wore a white long sleeve shirt.
He read the Bible from cover to cover, three times.
My memories of you are a gift from God that not even death can destroy.
