Glenda, I have fond memories of your mom and dad. They were very good people.
From Mrs. Nicholas granddaughter.
Mr. LaBrot was the sweetest man you will ever meet. I will never forget him pulling up in the drive through at the bank and me being worried sick about him driving himself back home. Even though he couldn’t see, Mr. LaBrot wasn’t going to let someone tell him he couldn’t drive. He was a fighter forsure. He will be missed by many. For those who knew him, we are the blessed ones. You will never be forgotten.
Granddad there are no words that can describe what an incredible force you had on my life and still have to this day. I have never met another person like you in this world. You are the most kind, warm, friendly, beloved, leader in our family. There will never be a time that I don’t miss your kind words and your big hugs and your positive attitude. Granddad you helped me get through so many difficult trials in my life and I I’m the luckiest person in the entire world to call you my grandfather or “granddad “as we say. You are missed every single day and I speak to you and Dutter on a regular basis because I know you’re waiting for me in heaven. I love you so much your absence has been very difficult on mom and dad and I know that you were ready to be with your beautiful wife. I miss you every minute of the day. You are my hero. You are my safe place. Love you. Heather
