Tributes

In loving memory of my dear Robert

Together we walked for sixty-three years

Through seasons of joy and moments of strife

You were my partner, my love, and my life.

From laughter that echoed in warm, sunlit days

To whispered dreams shared in countless ways

Your gentle spirit, a beacon so bright,

Guided me softly through dark into light.

We danced through the years, hand in hand

Creating a world, just as we planned

With each passing moment, our love only grew

In the tapestry woven, I'll always find you.

You taught me the beauty in everyday things

In the rustle of leave and the joy that love brings

Now as I stand with a heart full of pain

I hold on to memories that forever remain.

Though time may take you from this earthly sphere

Your essence surrounds me, forever near.

In quiet reflection, in dreams soft and deep

I'll cherish your love, a promise I'll keep.

So rest, my dear Robert in peace and in grace

For you'll always be with me, in every embarce

With love from your Dorothy, until we meet again

In the eternal dance where our love knows no end.

Your Wife, Dorothy

Granddaddy,

Thank you for everything! The long talks, ice cream dates, laughs, and always being there when I called are memories I will cherish forever. Truly the greatest man I've ever known. Mama you won this time lol! May you both continue to cover and watch over me. I hope I fulfill everything I promised you I would.

Love you forever

Your "FAVORITE", Kourtnei

Granddaddy,

I will forever cherish everything you've done for me and your Bucket.

After losing mama, I thought I lost it all.

Somehow, you and grandma filled that void and made everything alright.

I'll never forget our talks at the kitchen table while we ate dinner or bugging you to get another package off the porch.

I thank you for showing me the world of being a "mechanic". Failed brakes and tearing down the garage door will be my favorite memory together.

Thank you for showing me what a provider is. A family man. A STRONG man. A man who would stop the world for his family.

The Tuesday before you left I gave you the biggest hug, told you "I loved you", and said "See you later".

Granddaddy, I didn't know this would be our "later".

I'm going to miss you more than ever.

You've lit the torch and I promise we will carry it with honor.

No goodbye's. Only "See you later".

I love you Mr. Braddy.

Your Granddaughter,

LaTracia "Dee"

Grandpa, though you're gone from sight

Your love still shines, a guiding light

In stories told, in laughter shared

Your memory, a treasure, carefully paired.

Your hands, so strong, your heart so kind

A gentle soul, a peaceful mind.

The lessons taught, the wisdom given

Echo in my hear, a gift from heaven.

I see you now, in summer breeze

In the rustling leave of ancient trees.

Though time may pass, I'll always know

Your love surrounds me, wherever I go.

A grandson's love, forever true

Remembering you, in all I do.

Until we meet again, I'll hold you near

My grandpa, my hero, forever dear.

Love you always,

Bucket

Brother-in-love,

The brother of our hearts, your love and kindness, set us apart.

In a world that's often harsh and cruel, you were a light, a shining jewel.

The bond we shared, the memories we made, will forever stay, and never fade.

For though you're gone, your legacy lives, in the love and light that it gives.

So farewell, dear brother-in-love, our friend, for in our heart, you'll never end.

Love always,

Brothers and Sisters in love
