I am Tessa, James’ granddaughter. My papa was a quiet and gentle man, loved to play pool, was an amazing baker who made the best apple fritters around, and loved my Nana (his little girl) with his whole heart. Their marriage of 63 years was the type we all dream of, where you can be yourself and your partner loves you unconditionally. I’ll miss those cute “I love you too”’s from papa with his Texas accent 🩷 and I can’t wait for the day we are reunited in heaven. I LOVE YOU PAPA!
