Older Brother passing.

edited JNJ farther away.jpg

My Brother Jim Tippins, 3/24/1936 was found deceased this morning.
He has lived with the family of Kitzi Sprinkle for years. They called him PaPa (sounded like PawPaw to me) and the loved and cared for him dearly.

Kitzi is clearly distraught by having found him that way, and they are JUST NOW getting his body out of the small house where he lived on their property.

↑This was in 2016 at his 80th birthday↑
At present. my brother Jim will be cremated, I will get his ashes and arrange a trip south to do something, to be determined with those ashes.
Jim had clearly stated that he wanted to be buried in Claxton, so we'll try to make that happen.

I wish you have the strength to move forward, always cherishing the memories you created together, and in the certainty that the path taken was the path that was designated.

88... quite an age to live to. Yet, for those whom we love, every additional second is worth an infinite fortune.

I'm very sorry for your loss, Jerry. I know you've had some other heavy losses within the past couple of years as well. It's a lot for one person to handle. Yet, you know how it handle it well. I trust you'll use your experience and inner strength now as well.

I hope that you'll remember as all the positive aspects of those years that you shared with your brother. Let this hold you up. Of course, let us know if you ever need some support. We're always here to listen.

He was found on the floor in an unairconditioned room. It may have been sudden, it may have been peaceful, but we shall never know these things.
We can at least hope
