I still remember every time we went to see them you knew not to sit in his chair ( which couldn't be mistaken due to his pipe being there) and you knew that no matter what you asked him i would turn into some long story that usually ended complete off topic from what you even asked but you always learned something. You know how you said that you thought they were immortal well I learned that physically they weren't when my dad first died but Thelma told me once that DePoy's are to dang stubbern to die and you know i think she was right because no matter weather they are here with us or not they will always live through us.. I really did love the post.. I love you Sam and I hope to see you again soon under better circumstances...Dana D.http://www.myspace.com/baby_housingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682816143095777663.post-21387133509151721082009-03-31T12:41:00.000-04:002009-03-31T12:41:00.000-04:00I had the good fortune to visit with Carl on three separate occasions and I am still reeling from the sheer volume of information that he transferred during those visits!<BR/><BR/>Sam you have done him, your Family and me very proud with this account and I am sure that he and your grandmother know just how much he meant to you. <BR/><BR/>I have to disagree with both of your Grandmothers though! Me thinks you are perfect in every way and beautiful too! Simply the fact that you are so self effacing is interminably endearing! I love you!Kylenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682816143095777663.post-7872107949598608612009-03-31T05:27:00.000-04:002009-03-31T05:27:00.000-04:00Sam - I started my day off laughing and crying... what an unbelievable account of your grandfather. How amazing that they had been together after 62 years after a 7 day relationship! The news stories, obits, and web clips in honor of Carl were really a testament to his character and good citizenship. You are so lucky to have such great memories with your grandaddy :)Meg Simonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02696055739181060318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682816143095777663.post-72075381914038959342009-03-30T20:43:00.000-04:002009-03-30T20:43:00.000-04:00Oh, Sam.

Or the impact you had on them. I've spoken to my grandmother every single day since my grandfather died, and it's something I've come to look forward to each evening. One night I called and she was busy and said she'd call me back. I was on the phone with my aunt for the next two hours, and after, I called my grandmother right away for fear I'd missed her call. "Shoot," she said. "I completely forgot." Her strength has been pretty inspiring.Samantha Warren Weddingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02599523726626983360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6682816143095777663.post-43539105055941421972009-03-30T17:46:00.000-04:002009-03-30T17:46:00.000-04:00Sam, thanks for sharing! Such a touching tribute to someone who obviously affected your life so much.
