Gib Taggart

In memory of my Grandpa Gib Taggart

It has been a year since you left us.

Time truly flies.

So much has happened, so much I wish you were here for.

Your first great-grandson of Butler will bear your name and I know you would have been so thrilled.

I am so grateful for having you in my life and for the closeness we shared on so many things.

We shared a love of singing old standard songs, I’m pretty sure I got my voice from you!

I loved bringing you cheeseburgers and playing cards Monday nights, while Grandma went bowling.

That time with you meant the world to me!

There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of you in some way and miss you.

I miss your strong bear hugs, I miss you making me smile and I miss you making me laugh.

Some days are good and some days are bad.

But that’s the way it goes and I know you would not want me to be sad.

So I continue to remember that the ones that loved us, never really leave us and that makes me feel better.

Love you Grandpa!
