My heart is heavy with sorrow for the pain you must be feeling now but I rejoice in the sure knowledge that Tim is with our Heavenly Father. I look forward to that day when we are all called home. God be with you all and may the precious memories of Tim bring you comfort in the days to come. Love, Deb A Poem by Emerson that I feel reflects the life Tim lived. To laugh often and much; to win the respect of the intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that one life has breathed easier because you lived here. This is to have succeeded.

Dear Jeff, Selma, and family. I am sorry to say that I just got word of your loss. No parent should ever have to bury their child. I know your strong faith will get you through this terrible time. Your family and Tim will be in our prayers. Remember all the wonderful time you family has had to share with Tim. It was too short, but very precious. Patti & Denny Lake Havasu City AZ
