I send to the entire family, thru our great Lord, Healing and Comfort to each and everyone of you at this time. She was one in a million.
To All Family Members,
Tippy and June were roommates for a short time. They did everything they could together. She was a lovely lady. She and my mom got along well. The Cross”,Farr’
s and Owens family fell in love with her. She always had a smile and Bob would put a big one on her face when he gave her a piece of chocolate candy. Tippy, we will miss you at the Bingo games, also our little chats on the way down the hall. We hope you and mom are at peace in heaven. God Bless You.
Prayers and condolences to the family. Joyce Ann my thoughts and condolences are with you also. Archie was our cousin on the Buckler side of the family and my Dad always spoke so highly of him. Once again God Bless.

I’m overwhelmed with sadness knowing that I will not see Tippy anymore at the nursing home. She was a lady that I enjoyed talking to and goofing off with. I was always happy to see her in the hallways or visit her in her room. She was a woman that could always make you smile and feel appreciated. I truly loved her as if she was my own grandmother. I will miss her laugh and smile. I will miss seeing her at the dining room table where she held court every day. She is a woman I will never forget. My condolences go out to her family during this time of sadness and coping with their loss. We truly lost a one of a kind. I love you Tippy. May you rest in peace and I hope you watch over all of us down here! Drink all the Verdi you want now! 😘
