Dear grandma, I love you and grandpa so much. I remember how everything just felt better around grandpa. I remember how he loved playing the banjo, driving around the buggy, and eating salt on absolutely everything.I miss you and grandpa, and I just wanted to tell you I love you both so much.
Carolyn, I'm so sorry for the loss of Albert. It was such a pleasure working with him, and you over the years. I considered him a friend and enjoyed the various conversations we had about living in rural TX, livestock and hunting. He will be dearly missed, so sending thoughts and prayers to you and your family. Blessings ~ Travis
