This entry is dedicated to Jewell's great-grandpa Gates
who went to be with Jesus on January 16, 2012.

On November 7, 2011, we had a family meal together with
Papa and Grandma at Huber's Restaurant.
This was one of the last times I got to see him. |
 |
Papa loved to see his grandchildren
and great-grandchildren. |
 |
| Bobby, Liz, Jewell, and Ava at Papa's visitation. |

This is a picture of the family after Papa's funeral.
It was nice that it was a celebration of Papa going to heaven. |
I do wish that Jewell had more of an opportunity to get to know Papa. He was a man who lived each day for Jesus and to help others know Him. I know he prayed for her everyday by name since before she was born. He will be remembered for his faith, prayer, and great love for his family. We'll miss you, Papa.
