IIHer words, in his song
What she wrote about Tim, word for word, and the lines it became.
-
Who he was
Never met a stranger, Confident, Larger than life, Handsome Cowboy, Caring
In the song 0:35You were larger than life, confident and strong
A caring cowboy who always took a stand
You never met a stranger, you were a friend to many
There was so much joy on your handsome face
-
His legacy
He loved to entertain… To share his home with all his friends… He was a friend to many
In the song 1:12You never met a stranger, you were a friend to many
You loved to entertain, to keep the glasses steady
You'd throw open the doors and share our home
-
A memory
Sitting on the back porch looking at our beautiful yard and having a cocktail with him and talking about our wonderful life
In the song 0:13Sitting on the back porch, looking at our beautiful yard
Holding a cocktail, but smiling is hard
We'd talk about the wonderful life we were in
-
What she misses
His guff loud voice… His big shoulders and big hands… His big smile
In the song 0:41Oh, Tim, I miss your gruff, loud voice
I miss your big shoulders and your big, strong hands
With that big, bright smile that lit up the place
-
Her message to him
I will always love him and was proud to be his wife
In the song 0:56I will always love you, for the rest of my life
I am so proud that I was your wife
-
Her message to him
I am being strong and moving forward with my life, as you told me to do. I miss him every second of the day. I miss the life we had
In the song 0:38I miss every second now that you're gone
I miss the life we had, I miss the noise
I am being strong, though the tears still fall
I'm moving forward with my life, as you told me to do
But every single second, I am missing you
About 3 minutes of gentle questions about them, in your own words.
IIITim’s story

He loved to entertain and to share his home with all his friends. He was a friend to many.

“I will always love him and was proud to be his wife.”
Her message to him

She misses him “every second of the day.” She is being strong and moving forward with her life, she wrote, “as you told me to do.”
