Papo,
When I hear your name, a smile has always appeared on my face. Your mild mannerisms set you apart, every single time. The gentle hugs you gave, with your thoughtful words and kind tone made me feel safe.
You worked hard all your life, gave your family everything you had. You loved Martha / Momo more than life itself, and everyone who saw you together knew it immediately.
You saved my life once; sprung to action and pulled me to safety from nearly drowning.
You always brought me Rolos every time you saw me. They're still my favorite, and bring back so many memories.
You loved my mom, your daughter,
unconditionally. She has your eyes, smile, smarts, demeanor, heart, and charm.
I'm proud to call you my grandfather. I miss you already, but know deep down you're in a much better place. I'll see you again someday, and bring you a pack of rolos...
Love, your granddaughter,
Andrea
May, Great Uncle John Ed.Dillard, rest in the Presence of our Savior Jesus Christ the Lord. I got, to know him better as an Adult, when the lived in Gadsden, AL . Uncle John & Aunt Martha came to the East Gadsden WM , & we would talk. He was a good hearted person & will be greatly missed by my family. I am glad, that he is completely Healed and is rejoicing in Heaven with Jesus Christ the Lord & all the love ones that made it.
"Heaven's Gain Is Truly Our Loss!"
Love & Prayer's for his Family & Friends!
Love alway's, Great Nephew, James Kevin Barton
