My heart is broken! I havent been in Facebook for a few years now but checked Tripps page occasionally and a few others. Yesterday I learned of a man my age 39 whom I was chat buddies with for many years passed away in 2016 which broke my heart today I found out about Tripp. My heart is crushed. I dont want to look any more I dont want to see this sadness! I know Tripps Whole again and that we can rejoice my heart goes out to Bill and Stacey and families and Im so sorry Im just not learning of this Angels passing into Heaven.

To the most loving caring supportive family I have ever learned I have in my life. I have followed Tripp story since the day we started reading of him on Facebook. My nephew was directing traffic the day of the accident. I now live in Wisconsin but graduated from Winder Barrow high school and still have many friends and family there. To let us into your life at the most painful times made us feel like we are part of your family and we all love Tripp as much as we possibly can from a distance. Your challenges your strength and your gross have inspired thousands of people including myself. Praying for peace and comfort for this entire family and the thousands of people who will miss Tripp .
Thank you for sharing your lives with us.

We watched this little boy go from life to eternal life with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. What a precious little saint who taught us the meaning of sorrow, loss, joy, peace, love and hope. Yes, the hope of knowing if we live our lives through and in the Word of God, we too will have the eternal life that Tripp is enjoying. The depth of your loss has been felt by thousands upon thousands and at the same time the comfort of peace and joy knowing Tripp "whole" again. 1Thessalonians 4:13-18

You were a miracle to your mommy and daddy from day one and you became a miracle for millions of people around the world. We will miss your smiling face, your spiky hair and seeing the progress that you made so courageously with the help of your mommy and daddy, Mimi, Bobo, Tori Beth and MJ and all those who loved you so very much. Resting in God's arms now Tripp you no longer have to fight and you can be free to run and play and smile and talk to God and all the other angels.

Mr. and Mrs. Halstead, you will remain on my mind and heart during your time of bereavement. I was so deeply hurt when I heard on the news that little Trippadoo had lost his fight. Your little guy fought a good fight and the blessing is that he no longer has to fight, instead now that he is in Heaven he has been fully restored. Stacey, thank you for sharing Tipp with us and I thank you and Bill for being such strong gracious loving parents. Tripp's story has touched people around the world. I felt as if I knew him the sweet baby that we all came to know. He is resting now and may the love of Christ continue to be with you and your family. Sincere regards!!

Stacy, I could never thank you & Bill enough for letting us all in to your lives. I have never felt such emotion or grief for a little boy, who I never met, but felt like I knew so well! Tripp and his story changed the world...and the world will never be the same. He has touched so many hearts all over the US and around the world...and not only Tripp, but your entire family! Stacy, Bill, Mimi, Bobo, Chrystal, Kevin, Tori Beth, MJ and Nana...each of you went above & beyond what most people would have done to make sure he was treated and felt just like any other normal, healthy child! There is a special place in heaven for people like you guys! Tripp we will miss waking up to your pictures and smiles every day! We will miss you so terribly. We know that God has a plan; and, though we may not understand it now, one day when you see Tripp again it will all make perfect sense. God bless your whole family! We love you guys!!
