Pops words can’t describe the pain our family is feeling but knowing your watching over us makes it a easier. After 34 years apart you and granny are finally together again. I know that’s a home coming you been waiting for. You will forever be missed and held is our hearts. Rest Easy Pops…Until we meet again. Love you big. Your granddaughter
Any of Ruby’s family is NOT welcome at my dads service. THANKS…
Ruby’s family loved him just like he was ours I find he would have welcomed any of her family there. This is harsh to post. May you RIP Jr.
AGREED. Sad that people act this way.
Yep sad it’s not right how people act , I loved him he will always be my grandpa Jr . The fact about my grandma Ruby she took care of him from the day they got married till the day she died, If it were not for her you all would have been paying for his funeral , further more the night my grandma was in the hospital suffering be death your family was ransacking her house going through her stuff you greedy people. The truth shall set you free.have a blessed day
AGREED!!! Grandpa Jr. was not technically my blood, but he was the only Great-Grandpa that I knew and grew up with. From the time I was born I went over to Nanny’s and saw them both all the time!!! To me he was my real Great-Grandpa and my daughter’s real Great-Great-Grandpa!!! He loved me and my daughter, Heidi Marie, as if we were his own blood Granddaughters!!! And we loved him the same!!! I miss his special hugs!!! We saw and visited him and my Nanny Ruby as much as we could and I know my Nanny loved Grandpa Jr. and did anything and everything for him!!! I love my Grandpa Jr. and my Nanny so very much!!! ❤️❤️❤️
