Grandma and Grandpa Locklear

Chance's Grandma and Grandpa have 5 children, 15 grandchildren, and 11 great-grandchildren. All of these family members have been blessed with Grandma and Grandpa's support, love, and memories, and Grandpa's devotion to Longhorn football. Unfortunately, both Grandma and Grandpa have recently gone to heaven - Grandma in October of this year, and Grandpa on December 21. This has been tough on the Locklear family, and we're all spending some time remembering all of the good times we've had visiting them in Deer Park.

Grandma and Grandpa loved being at home in Deer Park and rarely traveled. So, we were especially touched that they attended our wedding in New Branfels!



In June of 2008, we introduced them to Cade!



We tried to visit at least once a year, and Cade enjoyed playing hide-and-seek with Grandma in the living room and relaxing on the recliners with Grandpa (who loved brainwashing his grandchildren with the "hook 'em").





We spent a morning at their house this past summer and we're so thankful for the time we had with them.



We will all miss Grandma and Grandpa, and are spending time during Christmas cherishing the memories we made with them. We will miss Grandma's sweet and welcoming demeanor, Grandpa's toothless grin (he refused to pay for false teeth!), and their two energetic puppies. They leave behind a strong legacy of Locklears who will always try to make them proud.
