The word friend is used so much and so easily these days. But the word family we reserve for those who hold a special place in our hearts. No matter how people come to hold that place in your heart, once they are there, it is to stay.
John Brodnax came across as a grumpy old bear, but he had a heart of gold. He was never failing for his chldren, and always there for his grandchildren. He will always be a part of our family, and will be sorely missed by his little brother my husband. Thank you for always being there for us, even when you didn't have to.
