Lori & Gary Graham Port Neches, TX July 16, 2006

Jr. had a smile and a giggle like that of a child. About ten days before he died, Gary and I went by and visited with him and shared about a trip we were taking. He smiled and giggled, and I remembering telling Gary how glad I was that I got to see him do that again. I can't remember a day when he was ever unpleasant to anyone. I remember only a helpful, kind man who loved his family dearly and had a smile and giggle I will never forget. Having been through the loss of my own Dad, I know the days ahead will not be easy for Betty and Lee. Some days I have had to remind myself of how Dad would want us all to go on and it has been helpful. I am happy for Jr. that he is no longer suffering and hoping he and Dad are having coffee and catching up now. Jr. will not be forgotten. I spent many weekends growing up with Betty & Jr. and am grateful for that time. The picture of Jr. with a cowboy hat holding one of the boys shows his special smile, as did the picture used for the cover of the program for his funeral. That is the Jr. I remember and am thankful God shared his life with all of us. To Betty, Lee & Sandra, Clint, Jason and your families-We are always here if you need us. Thanks to God for Jr's. life, the impact he has had on all of us, and the peace and lack of suffering he is experiencing now.

Good Bye Paw Paw. There are not enough words to express how much I will miss you. I'll never forget the day you made me drive the Mustang (having never driven before) and how you completely trusted my minimal driving skills. Who can forget the many hours in the yard and the garage working on what ever we could get our hands on. Then Grandma would call us in to tunafish sandwiches and Pringles chips. Those were the days... Don' t worry about your "Lil Babe." Dad, Jason and I will take good care of her. You just rest painfree and we'll see you agian before you know it. We ALL Love you very much Paw Paw. Love C P

Jr. you will be missed dearly. When I think of you, I feel love and respect. You were always ready and willing to lend a helping hand to anyone. Love flowed from you to all your family. I still see us standing in the garage looking at your prize mustand and Lee kidding you that he was going to take it out for a spin. All you did was laugh and give him that look. It was a true blessing to have a uncle like you. I will miss you. Give all the family a hug for me. Betty and Lee you will both be in my prayers. Love always, Debbie

Being in the Caywood family was always a treat. Especially during the holidays, or at all those July 4th celebrations at 1965 Briarcliff. Junior was always ready with a joke or a story and he had a very distinctive laugh that went with his great sense of humor. He was just fun to be around. So many wonderful memories from over the years. I hope he enjoyed seeing some of those old 8mm movies that captured the fun we all had, including those trips to the beach! To Betty and Lee, our thoughts and prayers will be with you. Take comfort in the family that surrounds you in love.

To my Great Uncle, I have so many childhood memories of playing in your home and backyard. Meme (Mozelle) would take us kids over with her to visit. My favorite memory is of us kids with our noses pressed to your back window staring out at the backyard. One of us asked Betty if she had a dog out there. She responded by saying no but Jr is out there. Adam then replied "Is he loose?" :) Thanks for all of the memories! Betty, Lee, and boys, Thanks for sharing Jr. with all of us through the years.

Jr. you will be missed in so many ways. You were always a wonderful uncle with charm, wit, and a great sense of humor.You always had a smile on your face which transferred to anyone around you. It was always fun bringing Amber over to visit while the two of you spun the tall tales of The Adventures of Princess Amber. I love you and look forward to seeing that wonderful smile again one day when we're all home together. Love, Della

Adam Canion Tyler, TX July 13, 2006

You will be missed, Jr. I haven't been very close to you guys for many years, but I have wonderful memories of spending time with you as a kid growing up in Beaumont. I remember I couldn't wait to be old enough to drive so I could convince you to let me drive your mustang, in my mind that was completely possible. I remember visiting you with Meme (Mozelle) and wanting so bad to sit and have "grownup talk" inside. My thoughts and prayers to all your family and many friends. Adam Canion

To my big brother, not in statue but in wisdom and fortitude. One of my favorite memories was the loan of your car to attend Lamar when I returned from military service. I would borrow money from you, if I came back before I paid you back you would tell me bad investment. This taught me the importants of meeting your obligations to myself and others. Love, Sidney

I will miss you so very much, Jr. You have been everything to me that a big brother could possibly be. Thanks for my first year at Lamar Junior College ($50 a semester in 1948-1949). You started me on my teaching career. Although I only went one year at that time, I did go back and finish after sixteen years and two daughters later. If it hadn't been for you , I probably would never have been a first grade teacher for 26 years. Thanks for all of the wonderful memories over the years. I love you, Juanita +†+
