Thank You Reprise
I would like to extend a thank you to all my friends (and family) who supported us during this difficult time. I carried my 85 year old grandmother to her final resting place on a rainy October day. Although that sentence paints a very dark and grim picture for some people those of us who knew her during her last days realize that the will suffer no more. She will be missed, but her life and legacy remain. All of her hard work--along with that of my grandfather, and my father, comes to a culmination in the future that I and my sister have received. Our generation is blessed to have been seeded by such great, hard working, loving, tough, God-fearing, and admirable people as my grandmother. It is God that created us with a will to work--and I believe my family got a double portion of work ethic (along with good looks).
So the final chapter closes. Another life has left us an example to follow. I, for one, am encouraged by how Hazel L. Duvall lived, loved, and laughed. She will be deeply missed, but life must continue. One day my friends and family will lower me into the earth from whence I came. I pray that my life will be as respectable as hers was. She will be missed.
