To My Love:
Words can not express how heartbroken I am that you are gone. Oh, how I wish I could hear your voice, see that sexy smile and kiss you one more time. I will always carry you in my heart. I am going to honor our life together by focusing on the joy and memories we made. I will work on completing our "TO DO List" that we created. Thank you for being a protector, caring, strong-minded, kind, and loving to me. I will make you proud. All our animals miss you and I will keep playing and loving them like you did. You have made such an impact on my life. Marrying you was the happiest day and a dream come true. I am honored to have been your wife. I Love you, Babe! I Love you with everything in me. Bye for now! I will see you when Jesus comes.
Love Your Wife,
Patricia Blankenship

“Papa Smurf”
I have known you for about fifteen-plus years, as a customer of mine, in the sewer
industry. I was blessed, or doomed the day Patricia dropped you off on the door of
Schwalm in Greenville, SC. That day a bond was forged that was beyond
comprehension. I can remember it like it was yesterday and that is when I called
you “Papa Smurf” and you nicknamed me “ASSHOLE.” The beginning of a bond that
could never be destroyed! We busted our asses and gave it our all, not for a
company, but for the time spent together and same values. It was at that point I
said no staying in the hotel--stay with me while you are in town. That truly
deepened our bond to work our asses off to provide. That bond over all the years
never wavered. We could always call each other (I will not speak of our greetings to
one another, but if ya know ya know) and always be honest no matter what. Jobs
drifted our locations apart, but the bond remained.
Annie chimes in with “after meeting you and spending time with you at our home
in Arizona, it was clear you were Tommy’s brother from another mother.” After
spending days at the house in Kentucky with Mom and Patricia the bond was
solidified more than I could have ever expected, and my family grew happier.
We all know you were a person of opinions, and you would never hold back! This is
what I loved the most about you. I will never speak of you, my brother, in the past
tense because you will always be with me. Cursing me out and talking mad shit, but
it is how we greeted each other on every phone call. Like it or not, you affected
every person you met in life and influenced them. He was the sun on a dark night
and when he was feeling down, he called, and I reprised his role. That type of
respect between men is not often spoken of.
That is why you, and I had no problem having a conversation, argument, or
disagreement but it always ended saying “love ya fucker” …. It is the true love and
respect that some may never be blessed with in their lives.
True Friendship and Brotherhood:
I have always had friends but never knew the real meaning until I met you, Papa
Smurf. We both learned from one another about life and the tribulations that come
with it. What nobody knows is the level of compassion you showed my kids and
myself. You, like myself, kept yourself like a closed book but I am proud to have
broken that barrier as you did with me. Assholes have feelings too!!
The respect and honor that I am blessed with the bond we built will always have
and will always drive me, as it has for him. Trust and admiration that could never be
contested with one another.
There will never be a goodbye, see ya later, or catch you on the next round.
Shawn truly infected the peoples lives whom he trusted with so much love that I
truly wish to be the man he is!! As an honor to him I WILL BETTER MYSELF AND
BRING TO FRUITION OUR GOALS. I hope we can all dream to be the man he is. He
will always live on in me and I aspire to be half the man he is.
Tommy Stringham
I have never had a person I trusted with everything in my life and Shavontay (inside
joke) reciprocated that. Truly the best person I have every met with the biggest
heart (he did not like to admit it, but wtf he gonna do? Prolly haunt me but I am ok
with that).

To My Son
Shawn/Ornery
Two words that are synonymous. You pushed social limits to the max and beyond, causing many to laugh and smile.
"So many smiles began with you!"
Silly names you had for others, crazy stuff that you would say, and the stupid things you'd do in an attempt to let others know how much you cared for them.
Your new words to an old song:
"Blame it all on my root, showed up with no boot,
that's how I wound up with two kids."
We weathered many battles together, sometimes we even won. We walked through life together and we had a lot of fun. Bad times seemed brighter as we were fighters. We tried hard not to let them bring us down.
Your purpose on this earth was to make others smile.
Your gift was Love and compassion.
You knew no strangers and were equals with everyone.
I'm proud to call you my son and I thank GOD He allowed me to have you in my life as long as HE did.
This isn't the end, as new feelings creep in, I'm sure I'll have much more to say.
Love You,
Mom
