We Loved Our Papa O.T.

 On April 30th, Papa O.T. passed away.  We will miss him so much sitting in his recliner when we go to visit he and Grandmother...always offering the girls candy corn or whatever snack he had sitting beside him.  He loved the hugs and kisses! He was always so kind to me, Ryan and the big girls.  He would always say how great we were and how pretty the girls are.  He had a great laugh and loved our family. 

He didn't get to meet Fynlie.  She was little bitty when he went into the nursing home and I didn't feel comfortable taking her there but he saw pictures. 

The day of the funeral...lunch and services...

 This is the water fountain that he built many years ago that has always kept the kids entertained and we've all enjoyed the sounds of the water and the beauty of the flowers near.

We love to spend time with Grandmother and are so glad that she's feeling better!

 Rylie always asks to read her a book and Grandmother always says "sure!"

PaPa OT has gone to stay in a nursing home and we went to visit him.  He wasn't too happy at the time but he's become a lot happier as he has settled in.
