"Love So Rare" Like a tiny seed Firmly in the soil Nurtured with a love I think So rare Given room to breath Given time to see It's now so clear to me You were there You were there When I was just a flower Afraid out in the forest Hiding from the shadows all alone I knew you'd be along My faith in you was strong Like a favorite song To lead me home You led me home And with each changing season Though I grow a little strong Rising up to touch the open sky And if I gave you a reason Not to hold me any longer You gave me a thousand reasons why You are my steady oak Standing tall and strong Protecting me with everything you have And I knew deep inside I would not have survived Without you by my side Oh,and I I love you dad.

Grandad, it was truly a blessing to have spent a great deal of my childhood in your company and in your home with Mawmaw. Those memories have helped shape me into the person I am today and I owe some of that from the lessons learned by your side. Your values and character are so evidently seen in your children, which have been passed onto myself and my siblings by our father to which I cannot wait to pass along to children of my own some day. Thank you for everything, love Ronnie.

I am sorrry for your loss. Thoughts are with you. I will always remember Mr. Hatfield. What I will always remember was how busy he always was. Always had a project or a garden to take care of. Loved his family very much.

Dad, You were always good for a good argument. You reminded me of my dad. When my dad passed away you over and filled the void. I am glad you excepted me as your daughter in law and I will love you always for treating me like one of yours. Love Deb

Dad, I have been shaped into the person I am today. He gave me his love, taught me what he knew. I will always honor him in the way I live my life and in my heart with my lasting memories. I will never forget our fishing trips, lessons learned on home repairs and all the times I needed advise or techniques on how to do something. Love you, Dad Tam.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Dear Ron-You were my husband, best friend, and rock to lean on-and oh, what a big rock you were. You were always there when I needed you. You would always know what to do or say. I will never forget the times we spent together and all of the memories we shared. We have traveled a long road together, but our road was way too short. I will never forget you and you will always be in my heart. No one will ever take your place. I love you so very much. Love, Charl

Although I never told you pesonally, I loved and respected you very much. You were my father figure after I lost my dad in 1997. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your family. I don't know if you ever knew how many difficult times your advice and wisdom got me through. You gave me your wonderful daughter, and help make me the person I am today. I will go from here forever holding you in my heart right next to my dad. Thank you.

After a long battle with lung cancer, my father passed away with me laying by his side in his bed at home. The home that he built with his own hands. He is, by far, the strongest man I have ever known. He lived for his grandchildren and great grandson. My life will never be the same, and he will be with me always and I with him. He was especially proud of his military service in the Korean War, even though it left him scared and damaged, although he would never show his scars. He loved his military dog "Double Clutch" and later in life his beagle "Duke" his Irish Setter "Terry", his grand dogs "Annah" and "Casper," and his yellow lab "Snuggles." I love him more than words can say, more than life itself. Thank you for being such a great teacher and a man of such high character, traits you passed on to me that I will carry with me for always. Things like a hand shake is better than a written contract, and your keeping your only as good as your word. I love you forever and a day.
