Kilgore Cemetery · Kilgore, TX
An honest man here lies at rest, As e'er God with His image blest: The friend of man, the friend of truth; The friend of age, and guide of youth: Few hearts like his, with virtue warm'd, Few heads with knowledge so inform'd: If there's another world, he lives in bliss; If there is none, he made the best of this. "Epitaph on My Own Friend" by Robert Burns

Missing you.
Wow, where do I even begin? We miss you incredibly. Every day, your uplifting presence resonates deeply within us, and we're constantly reminded of the incredible impact you've had on our lives. ❤️ Your babies have grown so much and you would be beyond proud of the exceptional individuals they're becoming. They're the living embodiment of your remarkable legacy. I've lost count of how many times I've exclaimed, you sound just like your father, as Khloe and Kason are your mirror images. Everyone says Kason but Khloe is you 100% made over! I swear, I carried them for 9 months just for them to blossom into brilliant reflections of you! I’m not mad about it. It’s a wonderful thing! Jocelyn has inherited your quick wit and sharp tongue, and honestly, all three of them are incredibly intelligent and witty. I engage in daily debates with three little CJ's, and it's a truly enriching experience! They’re my best friends and I know if you were here, they would be yours also! We love you so much and I can’t wait to get on the other side and share stories with you.
