Uncle Tillman,
What heart warming memories you left with us, they will be in our thoughts and conversations for many years to come. I loved you in my youth and loved you from afar...Texas is such a great devide! R.I.P. , Look forward to the homecoming for us all and we will feast together!
R.I.P. Tillman,Eventually we all will be reunited with God
Losing you so suddenly was hard for many of us; but you left behind your footprint in our hearts and memories to keep us going. We'll see you again one day. R.I.P. Uncle Tillman, we love you.....
It's been a while since i've seen you.. But you were always there when we were in Ar. for the summers.. You were always great to be around and you never walked away when we needed someone to play with us! I remember when you worked with Bob and my brother and I would come to the shop. You'd always have some sort of sweets to give to us! I wish I could've seen you one last time before you left and went to a greater place! Even though you weren't blood, i will always look to you as an uncle! I love you and will miss you!
When I was growing up, I spent hours on his lap watching old re-runs of Three Stooges clips. We would laugh until we cried, he loved the Stooges.
When I was naughty he would take me in the other room and clap his hands as loud as he could and tell me to cry so Mamma would think he gave me a much deserved spanking. It was always our little secret.
I never knew my real father but he was always good to me and treated me the way a Daddy should.
Wish I could be there to say good bye. I will keep you in my heart along with Dad and Mom. I miss them so much and you also will be missed greatly by all of us who love you.
I am so blessed to have you as my Uncle! Life here on earth will not be the same without you, but it brings me joy knowing that you are with loved ones. We will miss you!! RIP Uncle Tillman
Knowing he is with the Lord and we will be together again one day is comforting to me. I will miss him until that time comes. Thank the Lord for many blessings we receive, because He is in control and always there for us.
R.I.P grandpa. I love you and glad you are in a safer and painless state. You are deeply loved and missed. We all love and miss you. Wished I would have spent more time with you.
