James: We are poor, and poor is one of three things people don't want to be. Right next to sick, and dead.

Answer: Grandpa Evans was glad to meet family members he never knew existed. He didn't know Florida, but was simply glad to meet his daughter-in-law for the first time. It was simply emotional for him and Florida (more for Florida as this made her cry happily).
Thelma had told Grandpa Evans about the family when she met him before he met the family.
