Beloved Grandpa

Gavin's Grandpa Payne passed away this week. He was such a wonderful man. In my opinion, he is the perfect example of a family patriarch. Loved and respected by everyone. He's raised amazing children and left an incredible legacy for his grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Gavin, his dad and grandpa all share the same middle name, which we also gave to Solomon.

Love this picture of all of them together. Grandpa was a gifted pianist who recorded several cds for his family. Gavin even used one to woo me on one of our first dates! We will sure miss Grandpa, but always remember his talents and faithfulness.
