To Papaw from Mariah: “I will always remember you getting me rolls of quarters so I could play the claw machine as much as I want and taking me to get ‘lobsters’ to go fishing.”
From Hannah: “Always taking me to the store & always giving me dollars and for naming me Last but Not Least.” Hannah’s words of wisdom after finding out about his passing: “Papaw can watch over us now.”
