Sandy, I was more than glad to get to know "Hold On" He was truly a cowboy and funny as all get out. His calls made my day and the memories still will. I know that you too were made for each other. Hang tough McGruder and look to the Lord for comfort. I will be there to say a fond farewell to "my boyfriend". I love you all and I am here for whatever you need.

Sandy, A big thanks to you and Dave for taking care of me and the other kids when Dad passed. Without the two of you I don't know where we would be today in our lives. I enjoyed taking care of Dave so you could go to work. He never lost his sense of humor no matter how sick he was. He never failed to make me smile or laugh. These are the memories I will cherish forever. God only takes the best. I Love You Both Debbie
