TexasCowboy was called home last night.
Please Add your prayers.
L
Yes, he will be missed...but he will live forever in the hearts of those who loved him.
There's a good one!
And a toast to our TC.
Salute!
Bottoms up.
Thank you for your vigil.
So sorry to hear this. Rest in peace, FRiend. He touched a lot of lives.
My condolences.
There are good ships, and there are wood ships, The ships that sail the sea. But the best ships are friendships, And may they always be.
A good friend he is and I miss him.
Bottoms up!
Oh no! I'm so very sorry, his family and friends will be in my prayers. Although I think I only posted once on it, I've followed the thread that chronicled his illness over these last months. Thank you for the ping, Howlin.
Heard a beautiful song today by Brad Paisley -
When I get where I'm goin',
On the far side of the sky,
The first thing that I'm gonna do,
Is spread my wings and fly.
I'm gonna land beside a lion,
And run my fingers through his mane.
Or I might find out what it's like,
To ride a drop of rain.
Yeah, when I get where I'm goin',
There'll be only happy tears.
I will shed the sins and struggles,
I have carried all these years.
And I'll leave my heart wide open;
I will love and have no fear.
Yeah, when I get where I'm goin',
Don't cry for me down here.
I'm gonna walk with my Grand Daddy,
And he'll match me step for step.
And I'll tell him how I've missed him,
Every minute since he left, and then I'll hug his neck.
Yeah, when I get where I'm goin',
There'll be only happy tears.
I will shed the sins and struggles,
I have carried all these years.
And I'll leave my heart wide open;
I will love and have no fear.
Yeah, when I get where I'm goin',
Don't cry for me down here.
So much pain and so much darkness,
In this world we stumble through.
All these questions I can't answer,
And so much work to do.
But when I get where I'm goin',
And I see my Maker's face,
I'll stand forever in the light
Of His amazing grace.
Yeah, when I get where I'm goin',
(Oh, when I get where I'm goin'.)
There'll be only happy tears.
(Hallelujah.)
I will love and have no fear.
Ah ha.
(When I get where I'm goin'.)
Yeah, when I get where I'm goin'.
That is excellent! Thanks so much!
Salute!
Your post gave me chills because the same thing happened to me. He was on my mind that day too. I wasn't prepared however for this. I will miss him so much.
We have some great pictures of him from his visits to Fresno, and will post some later.
Prayers just sent.
It comes for all of us. TC was needed elsewhere, even more that he was needed here, and that was a whole lot a needin'.
I was so sorry to see this. Prayers for his friends and family.
Oh I don't know about that. If a way can be found to show us, TC will find it.
True. Chief Negotiator's death is when TC earned my complete respect. His integrity is vast. We worked on the threads and then later behind the lines and made some very good progress. He will let us know if he can. And I'd sure apprectiate someone giving me a heads up to that post.
I did not know him. But prayers for sure for the family.
May they be conforted in their grief.
Very nice Dita.
