TIP'S STORY

TIPP and RING

Please watch his video

He has faced many things in his life that were life altering. He has taken it all in stride. It takes a very strong-willed man to come through his illnesses with a sense of humor. His heart attacks caused this very active man to slow down and take a long look at life. He changed his lifestyle so he could live longer than the doctors thought he would. He had just come back to good lifestyle when once more; another life altering illness caused him to put his life on hold. Colon cancer, this time, was the dreaded disease! He had numerous surgeries to fight this disease. His strength of mind and body allowed him to survive the surgeries, the Chemo and radiation treatments. This kind, gentle, sweet man has kept his sense of humor all through out the ordeals. Even when he was sick he answered people’s questions in the lobby. Tip is a giver of himself, and his humor has made many laugh over the years. He is loved by many.

Not Alone

He has walked that mile, no one should tread

The spirit is strong, but he voiced his dread,

His body is weakened, but the laughter remained,

Treatments were given, and his body was drained.

The sickness was defeated, and after affects were there,

More surgery he faced, it just was not fair!

Encouragement is given, by all that he knows

Weary in his body, depression settles, and then grows.

A man like this, should physically be touched,

By all of his friends who love him so much

A comment is given, the wildfire spreads

The people, who love him, have thoughts in their heads.

We want something special to send to his side,

He voiced a want, we all could provide,

Friends came together, gathering all they could,

Encouragement, love, and a package so he understood.

He means so much to us, for many reasons,

His illnesses has lasted through many of the seasons,

His strength and his will has brought him this far,

We want him to know, he is a bright shiny star.

(Tipper this is for you, from all of your friends)
