My favorite picture of you is you holding 9 day old Beckett. We brought him to the hospital to meet your beautiful mama before she went to be with Jesus several days later. You held him and were so proud, so strong. You and @loudengrimsley brought the fun to family gatherings as little kids and kept the fun even when you got old and cool – always playing with my kiddos and enjoying them. I’m asking God, “Why?” while holding on to the hope of eternity promised in Him, because that’s all we can do. I love you, @kellen_grimsley_18
