My Dearest Tim

Thank you for your most eloquant words. 

The love of word, a gift from our mother. (and, forwarding your post; another mothering moment.  Thanks Mom) 

I will be happy to share dad's tales and stories of his 'habits'.  I hope to learn more this day, as we remember and say our final farewell to Dad. 

Rod and Jim, Dad's frequent laborers/apprentices', definately heard the most (besides Mom of course).  It could be a really thick book... like.... Dad not being able to pass a roadside sobriety test... after 10 years of sobriety (course some of us, never could walk a straight line!!).

I am greatful for this glimpse at your farewell  - Thank You Tim.  you did wonderfulf - as always.

I Luv You,

Tracy

(Please pray for all who travel this week, that they may arrive and return safely to their homes.)

God bless, Tim.

Very touching. Live your life as your Dad would want you to live. Youll have plenty of time for fishing when youre together again, like you said.

Love and best wishes,

Lloyd

For any of you who don't know, Tracy is my sister.
I'm deeply grateful to her for putting us upduring Christmas so that we were all able to enjoy that last Christmas with my Dad.
What a blessing it was too that we were all able to get together again to say goodbye to Dad, as difficult as it was, we were again blessed.
We were able to renew ties with some relations that we hadn't seen in many years, and it reaffirmed the importance of maintaining that contact, because like the suddenness of Dad's passing, one never knows when it's time for any of us.
Thanks Tracy, for taking the time to express your thoughts here with all my friends.
I love you.
We will all be ok.

Your brother,

Tim
