He was the best grandpa a girl could ask for. I remember as a little girl he and I would walk to church together he introduced me to Jesus. He taught me so much about Jesus and the Bible. He was always there for me and if I ever had any questions about Jesus or politics he was always the one I would go to cause he has so much knowledge. He loved me unconditionally and he loved my kids he always said he wanted to live to see them grow up and become adults and he did and he also got to meet his great great grand children. He was a hard working man and loved my grandma Minnie Pearl with all his heart and soul I know they are in heaven together and having a great time together and I also know he's in heaven with my dad and he is my forever guardian angel. I love you Papa. ❤️❤️💙💙 Love your granddaughter Tammie
