My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I’m going to miss you Nat. I’m glad I got to spend time with you. Rest Easy my friend. Heaven is a beautiful place.
We love you
To my brother in heaven love you always big sis
Papaw was a good man because he would always have a positive attitude and taught me about the best and the worst things in life so that I could avoid those things and he made himself the papaw role model that I never had in my life I’m glad he was there for the 4 years of my life
Pappaw always tried to put smiles on people’s faces because no matter if he or those people were having a hard day he would still try to be their for the people he loved because maybe one day those people might not be around much longer. Pappaw was a loved man and may he Rest In Peace
