His loss a large hole in heart.
My old friend, Maynard Earl.
From early morn each with other,
So many thought we must be brother.
My old friend, Maynard Earl.
With him each day seemed highly sunny,
He always had the best of funny.
My old friend, Maynard Earl.
There never was a better chum,
His leaving has left me numb.
My old friend, Maynard Earl.
I lost a very special friend,
My heart will never fully mend.
My old friend, Maynard Earl.

Holiday Letter from Maynard
Christmas, 2002
Hi Ya'll,
First of all before I forget---"Merry Christmas" from the Tidmores! My memory's good but it's short.
I've noticed in a lot of the Christmas letters we've received the words "hospital" or "hospitalized" pertaining to you or loved ones. I can relate to that after being in the hospital 3 times this year for a lung disease I have been experiencing. In fact, the hospital is where I'm writing this letter so it will probably be late this year. Before I go on, we do hope that you and/or your loved ones who have been hospitalized are better now.
Let me relate to you some of my hospital experiences. I'm 6' 7"; and when I have to lay down in a hospital bed, my feet hang off the end so I end up with rickets to add to my problems. During this hospital stay, after I checked in and lay down, the nurse came in and her first words were "I need to grab your vitals." I knew then that it might be a rough stay!
I'm used to "Direct TV" with 10 movie channels, ESPN, etc. Well I went into a manic depression! I mean I had 4 local channels and PBS !! I couldn't handle it. The hospital had to call in their TV depression people and give me TV depression medicine until I finally calmed down. And get this...no VCR !!! I mean some things are worse than diseases. Other than that, I'm fine! .....more to come
Maynard Earl Tidmore Born October 6, 1939 ~ February 17, 2003
I am sure Maynard sent ME this Christmas Letter because he knew I would share it with you ALL!
I never could keep my mouth shut!
He always made me smile, what a wonderful gift God gave us when he made Maynard !!!.....Jeanette....
