How did I end up here
Swaying with the leaves?
I am not a monkey
Climbing up a papaw tree.
How did I end up here
Singing in the leaves?
I am not a blue jay
Nesting in an apple tree.
How did I end up here
Searching through the leaves?
I am not a squirrel
Leaping in a walnut tree.
How did I meet You here
Praying in the leaves?
I am in awe of You
Hanging from this Rough Old Tree.

In memory of our dear friend, Bill Anacker. We love you, Bill, and rejoice with you at your joyous homecoming. We have so many good memories of our years together, playing upwards, listening to the Lawrence Welk Show, planting flowers, listening to your stories, jumping off your 20 foot ladder and onto the swing in front of your house, so many birthday parties for children, morning devotions, on and on I could go, and I am so thankful!!

I'm gonna miss my 3rd "Grandpa." I'm wishing we could have gone to see him one more time, but I know that I'll see him again...someday. :)
