Hey dad. Just wanted to let you know your on my mind. Things have changed so much since you were physically on the earth you wouldn't believe it. Big Bend is as beautiful as ever and I think even better. The family is doing great. Destiny is married and now a mom to a beautiful boy named Ryan.

Hey dad. Just want to give you updates on your family. I have recently gotten a chance through Facebook to meet some of my cousins from your side and have been so excited with them and sharing stories. I had no idea how big our family truly was. Hoping to continue our talks with them all. Destiny which is your granddaughter is expecting her first child November which is so exciting. She is doing great and her husband is also. We live them both so much and so proud of them both. David, that is your grandson is a Marine and is overseas. He loves it. I am medically retired because of all my health issues. That is ok. Because God has me on that. I love our church. Sherman is retiring next year. I can't wait for that. I miss you so much. Love you with all my heart and soul.

Dear dad.
Just wanted you to know that I think of you and miss you very much. You were the greatest dad I have ever known and ever will know. Your grandchildren are growing up so fast. Destiny is married to a man who is in the Army and they are expecting their first child. David is in the Marines. These young people who were told by other people that they would never amount to anything are successful and bright young people. Even with other people being cruel to them they have beaten the odds and turned out better than the ones who have persecuted them and me. God has been on our side this whole time. We have forgiven the other people for all there wrong doing as God has commanded us to and as you have taught us to. I know that you see all so you completely understand. I have tried several times to reach out to Taylor but she has not yet had God in her life and learned not all is at it seemed to be . I do not worry about it at all. I have heard through Aunt Imogene that your ex wife Beverly has stage 4 breast cancer. I have been praying for her healing everyday. If you could watch over her it would be appreciated. I wish no ill will to anyone and am a bigger person now that God has come into my heart and life. Love you big time dad.

Happy Thanksgiving dad. I know it 2 days late but that is life. So much has been happening. Your granddaughter Taylor has been reaching out to David and Destiny. Of course she will deny it because she knows that Beverly gets on this page and sees everything that I put on here. I did reach out to Beverly and wished her and her family a Happy Thanksgiving. Like you would have said, I was the bigger person. Haven't heard a word from her. Of course you guys were divorced when you died and I was given your badge and flag but she kept that your ashes and everything else including pictures of you. That is ok because I have you in my heart. We love you and miss you so much. You were such a good soul. I have done what you taught me and forgiven everything. I love you daddy.

Hey dad. It's almost Halloween. Destiny has gotten married and living in Tennessee. Her husband is in the army. She seems to be really happy. David is now a Marine. He is at his Mos training right now and graduates from there in January. Sherman is still working not as much. As for me I am not for sure if I am going back to work. I got hurt in May and have been very sick so I am thinking of staying home. I think of you daily and miss you so much. I go to church every Sunday and Sherman usually goes also. David goes to church where he is. We love you. ❤️
