There ’ s a special kind of love that grandchildren have for their grand parents. It ’ s filled with respect for their wisdom and accomplishments … With delight in the stories of our family that they remember and share. It ’ s a special kind of love that ’ s built on a lifetime of caring and giving. It ’ s the kind of love that ’ s felt for you, Paw Paw …. today and always. Love Always, Adrian Yarbrough

The Lord is my shepherd: I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the path of righteousness for his name ’ s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staff they com fort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine en emies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord, forever.
