Dear Peggy, Carolyn Sue, Steve,Jimmy, Sharon and Families: I wish to add to my earlier guestbook entry in which I recalled our fun times together as young cousins. We are so sorry about the loss - our loss - of your husband, brother, uncle, father and grandfather - our dear cousin Tim. Please know you are in the loving thoughts and hearts of the Lynch kids -Ed, myself (Pat), Barbara (Potts), Michael and Karen and our families.

Dear Peggy and Family: Tim is one of 14 first cousins of the 5 Lynch kids. What a great time the young Lynches, Hunts and Berries (plus the Clearies, on my dad's side) had together! Aunt Sue and Uncle Edward were such fun parents (and aunt and uncle) - so full of life! The Hunt Family was always a treat: A "Wild Bunch"! So glad to see family names carried on through Tim and Peggy's children - "Steven" and "Orren" (my grandfather [Aunt Sue's father] and her brother, TOT, JR - Tipton Orren Tate). I can't believe how time has passed and the cute, talented, energetic cousin Tim I knew as a child has passed away. What stories you must have of your lives! Our love to all.

Peggy,
How shocked and saddened we were to hear about Tim's passing. I've been staying with my 90 year old mother in another town, and neither Bud nor I were able to be at the visitaion or funeral. I just wanted you to know that you have been in our thoughts and prayers and that we are so sorry!
May the Lord be your peace and comfort in the days and years ahead. We know how the loss of a dear loved one hurts, and God's Grace is the only thing that will sustain you and get you through. Bless your heart! May you know the Peace that passes your own understanding.

In His Abiding Love,
Mary Jane and Bud Morgan

Peggy,
Danny Barrett here. I am so sorry for the passing of Timmy Tuff. One of my fondest memories is when we went to lunch at Shorty's Grocery and Grill. And he ate a double double hamburger in two bites. There was a pool that he could not do it but he did and won 20.00. What a guy. Blessings on your family

To Peggy, Steve, and the family. Tim will be deeply missed. I enjoyed many hours hunting and playing both Baseball and Softball with him. He also helped me out many times. He was a good worker, and an honest man. You don't find many of those in days like this. Hunting season will just not be the same this year without him. You have my heartfelt sympathy. Peggy, God will take care of you. Rest in that knowledge.

To Tim's Family: I visited Tim at your house two weeks ago. Tim and I sat outside and he talked about how much he loved hunting, fishing, and what a good time we had on the Utah hunting trip. He showed me old pictures of the Utah trip and showed me his game room. Tim not only loved hunting and fishing; he loved his family. Tim was a good man and my good friend. He touched many people in his life. He will be greatly missed.

Hello, to the family of Mr. Tim Hunt. I am a High School classmate of Tim. I also graudated in 1970 @ Waco High. It has been a long time, since I seen Tim. We knew each other, and we had several classes together. I am deeply saddened about losing my friend. Only God knows. He does not make any mistakes. So Trust in the Lord, with all your heart, and lean not to your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path. Peggy, you can be assured, if God can take care two, He surely can take care of one.May God Bless you and Keep you, is my prayer.
