My Greatest inspiration growing up as a child was my grandpa(my dad's dad).  He was a person that told it like it was and everyone like him and he like almost everyone as well and was God fearing and would do anything for his family and was a WW II vet.

My mother's parents, Grandma and Grandpa Jones.  Grandma was always spoiling me and always caring about how well I did in school as well as my Grandpa who was always proud of my accomplishments and always made sure we had what we needed.  He was a WWII veteran with honors, love hearing his stories about the war and his love of history inspired me to study to become a history teacher, but that didn't come to fruit.  They both passed on, but are sorely missed in my heart.
