Hello Tanna & family,
My heart hurts for all of you in the loss of your Dad. I have so many fun memories of when we were kids & you would come to Gramma Sales ranch. Our friendship has spanned for 48 years so there are lots of memories. Our parents were the best. They taught us well. Tip will be missed by so many folks but also remembered kindly. He had a long life with your Mom & all of you. Be thankful for that and for the gift of eternal life. We will meet them once again. Take care & God Bless---Love, Dee

Tip was a neighbor of mine for several years and he was a joy to know. His son Bob was in my class and a good friend.
