Praying for the family of my dear friend William D. Pippins AKA Buck. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 This has been a hard one to accept. I keep hoping that this is a bad dream or a sick joke. Buck always kept a smile on my face. He was that friend that made sure we stayed in contact. He was always checking in… cracking a joke, and keeping me up to date to what was going on in the world. I love you Buck! I am truly going to miss the special bond we shared. Wish we had more time to cut up on this side of Earth. Til we meet again… Keep laughing, keep dancing, and keep joking! Your spirit will live on through our memories now.
For “Gerry,” and James, please accept my condolences on the loss of your son. I am so sorry. Losing a child must be one of the worst things that parents can go through. Praying for God’s comfort for you during these hard days. Anne Loy
For “Gearldine” and James Pippin
Better known as Auntie G and Uncle Pip. Please accept our condolences on the of our nephew and brother Daniel.
Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in a resting place,
Along the road to sweet eternity. We all have different journeys, different paths along the way, we all were meant to learn some things,
But never meant to stay.
Our destination is a Place far greater than we know. For some, the journey is quicker, for some the journey is Slow. And when the journey finally ends, We’ll claim a great reward and find an Everlasting peace together, With the Lord. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family !!!! From your friend “T”, Nana, Katrina, Chelsie, and Families ❤️🙏🏽😃
