Rio Grande Valley State Veterans Cemetery in Mission

Our dear Pepaw, 
We will never forget the love and light you brought into any room that was graced with your presence. I’ll never forget all you did for me and my brother, Matt. We spent every summer at you and Granny’s. You always loved us and taught us to be kind, patient and hardworking. We miss you so much. 
My favorite memory is you meeting your great granddaughter in Arizona for the first time. The way you grab Maddie’s tiny toes and played, “this lil piggy!” You were the best grandfather anyone could have -and you didn’t have to be. Because we weren’t blood. But you loved us just like we were. Rest easy sweet Pepaw. I will see you again one day. Can’t wait to give you a hug. 🤗 

Love you granddaughter, 
Cyndi Blake
