    From the beginning you always treated me and Lexi as your family…you always had funny stories to share especially of Jerry Wayne and the things him Howie and T got Into as kids. I’m sad my girls didn’t get to know you like they should have but they know that Grandpa loved them very much. My heart is broken that you are gone but I know that you are with Mom and you will both continue to watch over us together…Good luck though cause I have it on good authority that she is on my side about the Cowboys? You may be gone from this world but you live on in our hearts and our memories??
