Our sweet Chig has gone home to be with the Lord. Chig had a smile that could brighten anybody's day. He was full of love and life. It was the simple pleasures of life that made him happy such as just sitting outside, playing with his blocks, eating a good hamburger cooked on the grill and enjoying a cup of cold buttermilk. Chig had a kind heart and brought much laughter to our lives. We are heartbroken but take great comfort in knowing he is sitting at King Jesus' feet, filling Heaven with his beautiful smile. We love you Chig and you will always remain in our hearts.
