T-ball was like Tony, Stevie, Chris,and Joey; a brother. Sure, the last time I saw him was when I was what, 5? I still miss him dearly. Believe me if you asked my friends they would all say that he is all I can talk about at school. I even wrote a really important 3 page essay about him. I know he is with me everyday because I have a cross my Aunt Sheila gave me. I wear it everyday and I can feel his presence when i pray to him and when i wear the cross. What really made me feel better was when I found out that he tried to call the police after what happened. My best friend could name every everyone in the family and has really been there for me. I love Timmy and always will no matter what. The journey from Ohio to Florida was a hard and emotional one but timmy was with each one of us. I love the family and hope to see them over the summer.

I am glad that my parents and yours met 34 yrs ago. I feel very lucky and blessed to have had as much time with you as I had. Before I had Katie, helping to raise you and your brothers was the best time of my life and the most fun. You were a good boy who grew into a good, wonderful man and I will miss you so much. I love you very much, T- ball.

One of the best friends I will ever have. A truly wonderful individual and great person. Living in Gainesville with you as my roommate was one of the best periods of my life. You will be missed dearly.

Tim was one of my best friends. I have been out of contact with him for over a year, but I knew if I ever saw him again, it would be like no time passed at all. Tim was full of life. He was energetic, thoughtful, smart, and was always up for talking. I will never forget, nor have I ever forgotten, Tim. I learned much from this young man. My prayers go out to the Ball family, I know this is a very tough time for all of you. I would like you to take comfort in the fact that Tim was a good man, and many people really cared about him. Upon closing, I would also like to share a verse from the Bible.

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." Matthew 5:4
