Kip, I love you so much. As little kids you and I always were together. Whether we were sneaking down to the local pharmacy and eating chick-o-sticks, walking home to Mom standing in the door asking what we ate! I remember us both saying Nothing~! But we forgot to wipe our lips~! Chick-o-Stick all over are faces. LOL
You are the best brother any sister could ask for. I was there with you for your transplant, I prayed daily while we were waiting for my cells and stem cells to take hold. I am so happy they did after all those month of pain. But my Sweet Brother the pneumonia took you away from us.
I will always be so proud of you and Chris, the wonderful children you two turned out, your amazing books you wrote.
You will always be my hero Kip, and our childhood memories will live on in me forever.
I miss you every day, I pray for you and your family. I know God has taken the pain and suffering you endured away and now you are with Dad. God Bless You Minkya.
I love you. Your Sister, Connie

My heart goes out to Kip's friends and family who have to go on without him. I knew Kip pretty well 44 years ago. We had some classes together at Westmont Hight School. We graduated in 1974 and he went his way, and I went mine. Our sisters were friends for awhile and then, life happened to all of us.
This year has been crazy sad with death... friends, family and loved ones gone... some after living a long and lovely life, some just way too soon. R.I.P. dear old friend, fly free of all that held you here. No more pain running through your body, no more disease, no aches. Fly on home now, rest in peace.
