The Legacy of Family
To me, they have always been Papa and Nana.
Papa left a legacy of love for his family:
For JJ: my choices in life; committed to Jesus through Jr. high, Sr. high and college; when married Natalie, he felt it was such a good choice that I was now in competition with her for
his affection.
For Natalie: her beauty, inside and out; her love and commitment to me.
For Grace: great teacher, same as Papa; taught SS, VBS, became school teacher.
For Joe
(fiancé) – just getting to know Joe, but Papa loved the fact that Joe’s love
for Grace was always evident; I am speculating, but I think he saw a bit of himself in Joe.
For Elizabeth: loved to see her on stage, dance, sing, in church as well; most recently proud of how she has cared for
Eric Xavier.
For Joel: so proud of Joel; anytime he had played his instrument or had concert, when I called, only talk was about Joel - auditions, first chair, concerts,
scholarships, etc.
For Mom: if not more than Dad; perfect; committed to family and a godly home; energy.
For Dad: his only son; natural leader, through HS,
college and career; passion for ministry
infectious; commitment to a godly and athletic home; couldn’t be more proud.
For Marilyn: Desribe the most
memorable valentine you ever received.
Who sent it to you? “The
greatest valentine I ever received was from God – in the gift of Marilyn,
herself. In February of 1957”
