My Pap Paw

Yesterday morning around 12:30 am, my Pap Paw passed away. He had just turned 95 years old on August 5th. He was at home in his living room, and I think his heart just finally quit working. He has had some heart probems and had a pacemaker put in back in July of this year. He also had a heart attack just before his birthday and was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. He had been a widower two times, and was blessed to live a long, full, active life. I will always remember him being outside working hard on some kind of project for his house or yard. He also loved to take us on a car ride and show us interesting places all around the area. He always enjoyed when we visited him, and we always wished we lived close enough to see him more often. These pictures are from his 94th birthday last year, and I believe it is the last time we saw him.

We'll be heading down to Ringgold, Georgia on Friday to attend his funeral on Saturday.
