Monticello, AR Monday, September 1, 2014 The past 6 months were some of the best times I've ever had the pleasure to share with my daddy. Many memories were made. It wasn't easy for him to except help but some how we managed to find a balance between him being independent and needing help. He would joke that he could do whatever he wants as long as his warden approved. Lol! It was an honor to be able to give my daddy the same loving care has he gave me growing up. You may be gone from this earth daddy, but you will never be forgotten. RIP Blue Diamond.Betty Spilman
