Hey Tim Harper...Just sitting here, thinking about you & missing you terribly...I was just reflecting on how you were a male that was raised amongst mostly females (mother, 4 sisters & 1 brother)…You rarely had any fatherly influence, direction or guidance...As you grew up, you learned & taught yourself how to be a man & what that entails from your perspective, with the knowledge that you had & sheer, pure love for your family navigating you...You NEVER forsaken your children or any family members & was a father figure & role model to us all...Were you perfect? No! Did you make mistakes? Yes!, but we all do, that is the process of growing, living & learning from life lessons...Countless times, I would pick up the phone & ask you for marital and/or relationship advice or just advice on life in general...In all actuality, you were the only constant man in my life...You would sit on the phone with me for hours making me laugh, when I wanted to cry...A few times I did cry to you & you would assure me that everything would be alright...One of the very last thing that you text message to me was to "JUST DO YOU AND KEEP IT MOVING" A few simple words, but they are so powerful, inspiring & motivational, coming from you...Moving forward I will live my life by this phrase, because I know that you will always be watching over me..."I AM MY BROTHER'S KEEPER, BUT HE REALLY KEEPS ME" I love you Tim & we all know that you loved us.

Hey Tim Harper...The mind & the mentality of it, is a wonderous thing. Just 2 months ago, back in January, I was doing a little research on the renowned gospel singer Lashun Pace. I even uploaded her most known hit song, 
"I Know I've Been Changed" right here to your memorial page. She piqued my interest at the time because she was suffering from kidney failure & had been on dialysis treatment for the past 5 years & was awaiting a kidney transplant...Today, Ms. Lashun Pace, passed away, due to organ failure, at 60 years old... You too were suffering from kidney failure & on dialysis...My heart is heavy & also relieved that you are no longer going through this...You were going to dialysis 3 times a week, 4 hours per session. We would text each other back & forth, sometimes during these sessions & I never heard you complain...You would even drive yourself to these sessions & back home. Just the thought of that makes me cry. You were the epitome of strength & independence...You never asked, requested or expected assistance, but it should've been given voluntarily because of who you were & what you meant to those closes to you!...You no longer have to rely on anything or anyone, anymore!...Tim Harper, continue to rest easy my dear brother...I miss you & love you.

Tim Harper...You were such an amazing brother & person...You kept all of us laughing & entertained...I remember when we would have church/worship services in our living room...We even had a lil family choir & Big Sister Lecole actually wrote a song for us called "Lord, I'm just a baby" (someone later stole that song & recorded it) We would sing with Lecole leading us, while we played tambourins & you would accompany us on the bongo...You would place that bongo between your knees & play the hell out of it, but basically had the same beat for every song we sang (LOL)
I don't know if many know this about you, but you could also dance! You would dance your ass off! (LOL) You would pop-lock, cabbage patch, snake, even got on the floor & did the worm (LOL) I remember when you & Kelly would walk into any house party that we would be attending & set the party off! Every one would just be sitting around talking until y'all would just bust up in the mutha, dancing all of the latest dance moves, but pop-locking was your thang (LOL)  
I have such fond memories of you. My Dearest Big Brother Tim...Love you❤️

Hey Big Bro,
I miss you very much. I miss the way you made me laugh out loud with your wit & sense of humor. You always had good advice for me & never steered me wrong. Tim, remember when you saved my life (literally). We were in high school & a bunch of us students booked a hotel room, just to use the outdoor pool. I don't know what made me think that my 5'5 self, could jump in 8 feet of water, in my mind, I thought I was a pretty good swimmer (LOL). I could see the bottom of the pool, so I didn't estimate it being that deep. I jumped in, hit the bottom of the pool, came to the surface of the water, gasping for air, yelled HELP & went back under again. You were the only one who heard my plea for help. You dove down into the pool, grabbed me under your arms, pulled me to the surface of the water & then to the edge of the pool & out of it. I was so grateful to you for rescuing me, I vowed right then & there to always have your back in any given situation. I never went swimming again after that incident, but I remember your strength & the love you had for me in saving my life. I will forever love you. I AM MY BROTHER'S KEEPER. Until we see each other again, Rest easy Tim
