HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPA!!!!!!


Today is my Papa's birthday! I so wish that he was here with us to celebrate this day. Although it has been almost four years since his passing, not a day goes by that something doesn't remind me of him or make me think of him in some way or another. There are so many times when I stop what I am doing and think to myself "What can I do today to make him proud of me." I looked up to him in so many ways and miss his guidance. I wish my boys could have known him and learned from the example that he set. He was a
TRUE GENTLEMEN in every sense of the word.

My little Troy was given my Papa's name (Kenneth) as his middle name.



This picture means so much to our family. My brother Cody served a mission in Honduras 2002-2004. He was really nervous about leaving because my papa wasn't in the best of health. Before he left, my papa promised Cody that he would still be here when he returned and HE WAS! My Papa passed away just months afterwards.

I love you very much Papa and miss you terribly. I am so thankful that I was brought up in the church and that I have been taught that we will be together again.
