An Unforgettable Man

My grandfather has always been very involved in my life no matter my age or location. Friends from elementary school, college, and current co-workers all know and remember my grandfather, John Earl Beall. He was an unforgettable man. Once you met him, you never forgot his kind words, hugs, and kisses! He always saw something good in everyone he met. Last Saturday, he went HOME to his Heavenly Father. Luckily, he was able to live a healthy and full life up until the moment he died. I actually saw him three days before and he was making jokes as usual. Every time I saw him he sang the following to me: "Mandi girl, Mandi girl, prettiest girl in the whole wide world."

This picture was taken last June.

I love this old picture of him!

I'm so sorry for your loss Mandi. It is great that you have such great memories to hold on to though.

Mandi, I had no idea! I am so sorry to hear about your granddad. That's sweet how he always sang to you.

I can't wait to see you next week!

Mandi, Sorry to hear of your grandfather's passing. He sounds like a really wonderful person much like his granddaughter.
