Things will never be the same going to the gator pond and not being able to find my grandaddy anywhere! From the moment you called me Tag instead of my name I knew you loved me and I loved you from the start, the scratching, petting and spoiling me with all kinds of goodies may have made me love you even more! Even though we only had a little more than 4 years to spend together you were the best grandaddy a grandog could ever ask for. I LOVE YOU!!

My daddy was truly one of a kind. He has always been there whenever I needed him and even when I didnt realize at the time that I needed him. I am so glad I am so glad I was able to stay with him the last several weeks of his life and help take care of him. we shared many special moments and he told me so many things about himself that I didnt know or had forgotten over the years. Not a day will go by without me missing him. I am glad that he is now at peace and no longer in such pain. He will always be in my heart. I love you daddy and miss you so much already!
