To Kathy, Aaron and all -
Terrible awful news about Cecil. I cherish all the memories we shared - Aaron and his brothers and my son Jason going to school together, our Ford years and of course his wonderful retirement party. He takes with him a piece of my heart, never to be quite the same. Kathy - contact me when you can - [email protected]

In memory of our gradfather...
"Few can bring the warmth
We can find in their embrace,
And little more is needed to bring love
Than the smile on their face.
They've a supply of precious stories,
Yet they've time to wipe a tear,
Or give us reasons to make us laugh,
They grow more precious through the years.
I believe that God sent us Grandparents
As our legacy from above,
To share the moments of our life,
As extra measures of His love." - Author Unknown
With love,
Ava Monroe & Isaiah Michael Waldron

Shannon,
My heart goes out to you after losing your father. Even though I never met your father, I don't doubt for one second that he was a great man. Your mother and him have raised a great family if you are any indication.
May God hold you and your family close during your time of loss.
