Michael D. Gantt
To my cousins Terry, Patti, Michael, Paula, and Jay: I have fond memories of times spent with all of you as well as with your mom and dad. Knowing that there is a place reserved in heaven for our parents when they pass is the most comforting thought I can possibly imagine. Because of Jesus Christ, as described in the Bible, I know this is so and I sincerely hope that each of you do, too. Your dad was kind to me and I especially appreciated the warmth he showed Janie from his first introduction to her through all the years we have been together. It was also a great comfort and joy to me to see how you cared for him in his advanced years and that he was able to enjoy such a high quality of life by being with his children whom he loved so much. I was too young to remember Uncle Jim, but it was always clear to me that there was no difference in the way Uncle Ralph regarded his five children. That says a lot about a man. All best wishes, Michael and Janie Gantt
