Thank you

I want to say thank you to everyone that has kept my family in your thoughts and prayers these past few months that my father-in-law has been so sick. I appreciate it more than words can say.

In the end though, it was just too much for his body to handle. We said goodbye to him today at 12:20 pm. All of his family was with him when he passed.

Daddy, Granddaddy, Mike -

You will be greatly missed. You were a wonderful father and the best grandfather I could ask for for my children. Brooklyn and Jake simply adore you. I also couldn't have asked for a better person as a father-in-law. You always told me that I wasn't your daugher-in-law, but your daughter. I love you.

Since you and Brooklyn loved to dig in the garden so much, we are going to buy her a tree to plant in her "Granddaddy Garden." We will all miss you so much, but we know that you are in a much better place now watching down on us and waiting for us to join you one day.

We love you.

This is the last picture that was taken of Mike. It was at Jakey's birthday party.
