You are my great grandfather. I wish I would have had a chance to meet you. Your daughter Mary was the greatest grandmother I could have asked for. I ended up serving as a police officer in Madison for six years, and your great granddaughter Hannah is currently serving. Godspeed and may the Lord keep you in his embrace for all eternity.
