Rest In Peace to a beautiful soul! My Papo! He was one of a kind and I will always carry with me the best memories a granddaughter could wish for. My visits to my Papo and Nonie’s house were always filled with mule riding, Uno cards, silly Papo puns, the best family dinners, yard sale shopping and priceless family time sitting on the front deck of their beautiful Payson home. ❤️
I hope you’re dancing in heaven today as you reunite with Nonie!
Dancing in the Sky!! 🙏💙
