Cecil R. Epps, Sept. 6, 1930 - April 9,2010
15 years ago
Another close family member, my grandfather on my father's side, passed away. That's two major deaths in my family in less than a two month span.
It will sound mean, but I believe I will miss my grandfather more than my grandmother...mostly because I was closer with him later in our lives than I was with my grandmother.
He was a Korean War vet, was a radio operator in the 25th Infantry Division, and it was my honor to catalog his stay in the army in a massive scrap book well before he passed. He bragged so much about that thing. I was prevented with an American flag at his memorial service. God, I'm so glad I was able to steel my self through that. No one would have been able to blame me if I broke down at that moment...but...I felt good afterward.
NO ONE I CARE ABOUT IS ALLOWED TO DIE FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER 50 YEARS, GOT IT?
