Well, Grand Dad, it's the first time I'm writing you since GG died. I bet you were so excited to see her and show her to the mansion you guys live in. I just hope you remembered her and didn't drench the place down with Dallas Cowboy decor. Lol. I know she's back to cooking your meals, making you eat a balanced diet, and watching the sunsets from the porch with you. The thought of you both together helped me to not mourn GG's death as hard as yours. My heart broke that you both died but the worst of it was knowing you were separated. Now, I can peacefully go forward knowing you 2 are witnessing the presence of our Savior, and majority of the time begging on your crazy family's behalf. I want to thank you, both, for loving us so much.... for making us strong, for teaching us to be good and fair, descent and classy, intelligent and reasonable, but most importantly knowing who we are and whose we are. Thank you for introducing us to the Lord and giving us your best at all times. You set the bar extremely high, even as far as the parental expectations. I love you, Grand Dad. I love you, both. Give GG a big hug and kiss from me. Call me if you need Mama to Heaven Dash you some "no no's". We were just talking about that a couple of days back. Our candy/snack king. Lol
Love,
Tutu
PS. Ehhhhh!
Hey Grand Dad,
What's wrong with you? Where have you been. I'm missing your face. It's been awhile since I've seen you in my dreams. You know I cry if you do and I cry if you don't. As you would say 41, still crying. I'm strong though I'd like to think that came from you. GG is super woman so I'm in good company. I know Jesus is incredible but still ask him if it's ok that you come see me sometime.... Ask him right now. I need you. I love you and I'll be to talk to you soon.
I'll always love you, I'll love you forever.

Missing you a lot more today. I love you, Old Man.
Missing you more and more as the days go by... My heart knows it but I keep looking for you. Its broken every time I see Gran Gran without you. Man, I need that smile right now. I love you, Grand Dad. I just wasn't ready but I know Jesus is just loving on you. I imagine you being surrounded by so much love and so many people that you would always talk about. Remember you would say,... "Well, Teri, all my friends and family are gone. Me and your Mama (my Grandmother) are the only ones left. We outlived everyone." I'd tell you nuh uh Grand Dad...let that be them, you had to stay with us. Lol! I knew you missed them. I now know how you felt because I'm missing you like CRAZY! I took for granted you'd always be here. Lately, I've been stronger and I know its God and you. He's definitely carrying me because there's no way I could process this type of pain and continue to go on. Continue to look over GG on her hard days. She definitely needs you. We all need you, but her especially. I don't even know what to say or do when I see her now. I stay strong, though. Make sure you visit each one of us in our dreams so we can have our own special time with you just one more time.
I love you!
I love you forever!
I always will.
Thank you for being so kind and loving to Elijah Phillips. Prayers for the family.
Strong...down to earth so kind so loving ❤️ and he kept me laughing...

I love you, Grand Dad. I miss you so much especially when I go to see Gran Gran. The house is just different. I keep thinking about all your friends and family that went before you. I know they were waiting on you and to witness Jesus, I can see your face. That brings me comfort. I just will miss you here! The family is together a lot just to honor and remember you. Make sure you stay near us until we're able to do it without the hurt. We will honor you everywhere we go. I love you, I love you, I love you.
