SAYING "FAREWELL FOR NOW" TO MAMAW

This past week I took an emotional journey home with my wife and kids. We went back to Hattiesburg, Mississippi upon the death of my 94-year-old grandmother, Gladys Hanberry. (Mamaw)

Over the next few days, I'd like to share some things from her life! She was simply AMAZING!
