Dear Papaw, No words could ever express how much I will miss you. You gave me more than I could have ever wanted. You faced everything with the strength of a lion, even a disease that slowly took your independence. I was so blessed to have been with you ##imported-begin##Mandi Mulhollan##imported-end##
