To everyone in the Flippen household, my thoughts and prayers go out to you. I did not know this had happened until early Monday morning when my brother Hauji called and told me so. God be with you. All my love...

Psalm 29:11 says - "The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace." May God strengthen and encourage the Flippen family during this time. May you lean and depend on Him in the days ahead. I will miss my "locker buddy" and best friend while at Chicora High School. Thank God for the good memories; I will cherish them dearly! Our thoughts and prayers will be with you all.
