Dear Frank, Pat & family,
I have just received an email from my brother Bob informing me of your son Tim's untimely death. I am stunned by the news and cannot imagine your own sorrow and despair. So young! Yet he accomplished so much. You should be very proud of him. It seems just recently he allowed me to use his bed for my overnight visit to your house. I hope that you and Pat, his sister Meghan, and wife Heather find some comfort and consolation in his accomplishements as a son, brother, husband, and outstanding young man. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Your "old friend" Chud & Cathy Reagan

Dear Farrell Family,
I was deeply saddened to hear of your loss. My sincerest sympathies and prayers go out to Tim's wife, parents, and extended family. I was a teammate of Tim's for 3 years at Dartmouth and have many fond memories of Tim. He was always a positive influence on the track team and kept people laughing and smiling. It was obvious Tim had a fire within to excel that took him beyond Dartmouth and into a leadership role in the Military. Tim will be remembered and missed greatly. I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Mr. Farrell and Family:
Words can not express the loss of your son. You were my Drivers Ed teacher in Raritan and I always liked you for being so kind and caring to the students back in 1966, 67, 68 and I am sure before and after. We are brought to this earth for a purpose and when we fulfill it we are called home no matter what age. I know you will not understand this but know he is with God now and looking down upon us, BE STRONG I am so sorry for your loss. With deepest Sympathies always Gail Hallam Lionetti
