I’m going to miss him so much the past two weeks with him was hard but I will not forget any of it we talked , he told me a lot of things I didn’t know about him some good , some if grandma new he did oh lord most of them always had his side kick with him , (Wayne) he didn’t have any brothers ,he said Wayne was just like his brother and boy did they do some stuff ! But my lips are sealed . We talked about him taking us for rides in the wagon he hooked it to the lawnmower . Too him and Wayne pulling off some little boys pants and putting them in some rafters . We laughed and we cried but it was so special ! I LOVE YOU DADDY AND MISS YOU SO MUCH , YOUR BABY GIRL !
T.A. And Donald Ray use to get me in all kinds of trouble. I never will forget when they took me out to shoot B-B guns. In town no less. We ended up shooting a bird on the roof of a house. Who did the house belong to? The Chief of Police at the time in Bay City. He came out of the house a they grabbed my hNds and we took off running. We hid under the train trestle for what seemed like hours before heading back home. I had discovered him on Facebook not too long ago. He was on there playing solitaire a lot. He will be missed. Prayers for his family. Wish I could be there for the funeral but a bout of arthritis is keeping me at home right now.
Maybe it will ease up by Tuesday.
Bo, Randy, Alvin, Linda, Veron, Kim I just want you all to know that Brenda & I are so sorry for your loss. I have known all of you my whole life and I wish I had the words to make you feel better. I just take comfort knowing that he is not in pain and he is not sick anymore. My heart hurts for all of you. Know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and we are praying for God to bring you comfort and peace.
Love,
Craig & Brenda Mason
T.A. was a good friend to my dad, Albert (Herky) Chenoweth. He sends his deepest condolences. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.
