Earlier this year my Pepaw passed away. Never would I think that I would really lose him...Even when I talked to him at the hospital New Years Eve he said he was fine just tired and needed a nap. I went to see him New Years Day and to think it would be the last time we talked just is so surreal...He was the most awesome man. He passed away 2 days later after a failed heart procedure due to the excessive damage to his amazing heart. No one ever survives the damage he had yet he did until surgery. Once while in a medicated coma with his heart exposed he woke up when I whispered in his ear I was there. How cool is that? He woke up only for me! We buried him Easter weekend at Arlington Cemetery which is where I am going with this story...see my Mom and Aunt are going to see his head stone and completer their grieving process...I am sending my heart with them because one day our family will go to visit also...Tanner was Pepaws best friend he kept him 3 days before the heart attack so I could get a Pedicure...can you imagine?...I love him, and God loves him..remember these two things..(he always said)

Daddy Loved you and Tanner Beau SO VERY MUCH !! I do miss him much more than words can say. Not every little girl is lucky enough to have a Father that she knew would laid his own life on the line for her's, if that day had of ever of happened....And daddy was that kind of Father to me and all his children and Grandchildren and then his Great Grandchildren. We were all so Lucky to have had him here with us to take such good care of us and love us with all his heart. He did always tell us, Everytime he left us to go home......and I quote Daddy now "I want you to remember 2 things, I LOVE YOU AND GOD LOVES YOU.....I AM SO PROUD OF YOU !!" Then he would kiss us and drive off....God knows how much I miss that. He was so proud of you, Heather for being such a Great Mother and Wife and Business Babygirl, you know, you will always be his baby girl. I'm So Proud Of Daddy and His Final Resting Place. It is so Beautiful, As he should have, for the Man that he was during his entire life.
I pray everyday that he is dancing in heaven!!
I, too, Love you and Shane and Tanner and Tatum....I'm So Proud Of You All !!
Love, Mom
I THOUGHT YOU WOULD ENJOY THIS AS MUCH AS I DID. SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY HEAVEN SENT ANGEL, PEPAW
I love you very much, one day when you are gone, I will always remember 3 things. You love me, God loves me and Tanner Beau loves me....You have been the person who guided me, taught me, believed in me, adored me, fed me, showed me the love a Father should have. Thank you for always knowing what I needed even when I didn't. I love you verrrry verry much....and so does God! Heather Brooke.

I thought that at 81 years of age I would be finished with the thought of killing. In France I was 20 years old and saw my first dead German he was maybe 18 his life was sacrificed for a lost dream of a mad man,
Today there are men planning to kill my grand children. They have assumed the roll of God’s agents here on earth and since they know just what God wants my family to do they are here to make sure my family does as they say.
They have convinced their cult members that they have the power to speak for God, and as such God has said He will give the cult member 50 or more virgins if he will only blow himself up as he kills several of my family.
I’m sure that the dead German I referred to was killed by a young American and I know he was not happy to do it. It was kill or be killed.
Today we are faced with one who claims to be God’s agent on earth. I do not want to kill him but when I realize it is either him or my family I will face him just as I did the Germans.
Some think they can reason with God’s so called agent and we can live in peace.
Able failed with Cain. Christ failed with the mob. Chamberlain failed with Hitler. I have no faith in those today who claim they have the power to reason with our enemy.
Some do not think we have tried enough reason since 1983. The reason we used was not successful.
It is sad but when I am faced with having my grand children under the modern day God’s agent on earth or placing my life on the line. At once I will put my life on the line.
