We all will miss very much love you always 👼💖💖💜💚💙💛❤💞
So sorry for your loss, I remember staying up there with Bev and the kids when we were younger.
I spent every summer up north with grandma and grandpa. On our way to church every Sunday grandpa would purposely drive fast down the high roads just to make grandma yell at him. He always made life interesting. Miss you grandpa!
Love,
Mississippi
