Mimi, Don and Vanessa,
Grandpa Sewell as he was known to us was a wonderful, funny, and fun loving man. In the 20 some years that my family had the privilige of knowing him I can honestly say that he never had a cross word or was ever meanspirited. He treated my children as if they were part of his immediate family. We have some wonderful memories of this very special man. Our hearts are breaking for his granddaughter Vanessa who always dreamed of dancing with her grandpa at her wedding. Well honey he may not be able to be here to dance with you but I am sure he will be dancing like crazy up in heaven not only on your wedding day but always. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Jerry, Donna, Jeremy, Jason and Jenny.
