May the good lord bless you and keep you safe and remember that he never gives you more than you can handle.
Tim,
My memories of your Mom are special. Every one of them includes you with you. As I write this I can see her smile and it was a great one. What I was privileged to witness was always warm and loving between you both. I could see, and feel what a wonderful relationship you had. The first time I met her was at one of your promotions and she lit up when she spoke about how proud she was of you. I thank you for sharing a delightful part of your legacy with me.

Tim, I meet your mother in 1976 ,in a hair salon where I was working . She came in every Thursday night after working all day . She was such a classy lady , always looked her best . Brenda & she would sometimes come together. Everyone thought they were sisters . I also remember going to your home on legion drive , she always made me feel welcome. She & I were alike when it came to cleaning house . She was so proud of you , growing up , in the ROTC. Your mother was special to me , she would share lots of stories about your dad , Ted , Brenda & of course you . You where her shining star ( most babies are ) she also loved living with you on Old Salem Rd . She loved living with her granddaughters. After that with her other grandchildren, Tracey, Jessica & Jason too !! Like most grandmothers , we love those grandchildren. I remember when you brought her to see me at my hair salon , all the way from Alabama . I think it was my last time I saw here . She was a sweet lady !! She sure didn’t want that grey to shine threw!! Only your hairdresser knows . Another sweet memory is the week before she went to be with the Lord . She called me & couldn’t remember doing it , that was God letting me know her time was near . I talk to her & I really think she knew who I was . We told each other that we loved each other before we hung up the phone .That was a very special time to me & I’ll never forget that call . Sorry I couldn’t be with you all , due to my knee replacement. , but my heart & prayers are . Love , Ann Skelton
