Special Memories of my grandson Joey Hoover as he graduates from North Gwinnett High School on May 30, 2011
Dear Joey
As a young child you did, indeed, light up my life -- and you still do! (Now playing is
"You light up my life." )
|
A few special memories:
▪ The day you were born – July 3, 1992. What a beautiful baby!
You as a Cub Scout and then a Boy Scout. What great memories! See photo below.
|
▪ The many times that you stayed at our house while your parents went to UGA Football games. That was a special time in my memory when you and Michael wanted to go to Grandma and Pop Pop’s house.
|
▪ Your confirmation into the United Methodist Church.
|
▪ Your Graduation from Riverside Elementary School in Suwanee.
|
|
▪ Your fantastic works of art when you were very young. These still adorn my refrigerator door in case I forget. ;- )
|
|
▪ My trip with you and your mother in 2004 to the International Tang Soo Do Championships in Orlando. Remember the web page I made of that event? Loved watching you perform!
|
|
▪ You working in the Hall County Republican Party headquarters during the elections of 2010. I was so proud of your understanding of our political process and your strong conservative leanings! So glad that your Government class teacher gave you this assignment. I especially enjoyed our rides to Gainesville and back with your two friends who also worked in the headquarters.
|
|
▪ Your wonderful band concerts in the theater at NG. Every year your band just got better and better!
▪ All of the NG Football games where we watched you perform in the marching band. In your last year your band looked more like a college band than a HS band. Hope you make the Auburn marching band since I know you will love that.

As you finish this phase of your life, I pray that you will take with you the values which your mother and father have taught you. As you move on to higher education, there will be many temptations; but I know you will make the right decisions and make your family proud – as we are today. God has blessed you with a fantastic mind which He (and I) expect you to use to its full capacity. As you enter the wide world of engineering, I can just see you working in NASA and possible future trips to outer space. (If the President does not totally kill that program.)
As long as I am alive, know that I shall continue to love you as I have for these past 18 years and will always be here if you need me as long as I live.
God Bless and Keep You!
Love you always
