Kathy you and your family are in my prayers. There are no words that I can say. Just know I always have you in my prayers. I remember my grandmother how horrible the pain is. She lost her son when he was 24. I remember her saying the pain is unbearable and difficult to face every day. My thoughts are with you.

Dear Kathy, I was thinking again of you and was planning to send you a private message via Facebook. I wanted to tell you how beautiful a tribute it was to Tim seeing all the photographs of special times, the reading on his mass card, the personal ways you let everyone know him better. I think of you often and Marc. There are a few sets of twins I know well, and I realize how devastating this is for Marc and how difficult his healing will be. As you wrote, you will all struggle with this forever, but knowing how loved Tim was will hopefully bring some comfort to your family. You, Tim, and your family are and will be in my prayers and thoughts.

This is Kathy, Tim's mom. I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for the beautiful descriptions and remembrances of my son. I am still in shock and pain beyond belief, but it is wonderful to hear how loved he was. Please keep praying for us, especially his identical twin brother Marc. We will be struggling with this forever, but these heartfelt sentiments provide great comfort to me and my family.

I worked with Tim in Boulder. He had a big smile everyday I saw him. He was a proud young man with ideas and dreams. We talked of the common theme of both of us coming from the Chicago area and that he was going to see his father. I am so happy that Tim was in my life but I am shocked that he is gone. I knew he was suddenly sick but I had no idea that it would lead to this sad day.

My deepest sympathy to Tim's family and friends. Me and my sister Jamie went to grade school with Tim. He was such an amazing, kind friend that she felt lucky to know. Through the years I saw him grow up into such a wonderful person and he will be missed by our family forever.

Our deepest sympathy on the loss of your son Tim. We were fortunate to get to know Tim through his close friendship with our son Tim at Boulder. We really enjoyed the time spent with Tim while visiting. What a wonderful young man he was in addition to becoming a great friend of our son. He will be missed.

My heartfelt condolences on the loss of Tim. I will always remember him and Marc from the many field trips I chaperoned at St. Dan's. The boys were in my daughter, Kristin's class. They both truly were unique, talented individuals who were definitely wise beyond their years. Tim will be missed by many. Take comfort in knowing that the "family" they formed with their classmates, will help Marc deal with this devastating loss. Your family will be in our prayers as you move forward on your journey to healing.
