Memories and Condolences
for Timothy Berlin

Not sure what to say?





Some of my earliest memories go back to seeing this younger cousin when he was just a toddler. He provided for many antics to be a part of and was always the personality. There will now be quite the missing part of the Wichita experience when I get back to my 'secondary' home town. His positive energy still abounds and the ultimate reunion awaits.

Dearest Donna and Family

When I reflect back on my childhood I always remeber Timmy as that mischievous little boy with his silly smile.

Today I see a good man, a loving, careing, patient man, and a man of great faith. Donna, Timmy loved you and the children with all his soul and heart. We can Rejoice in the Lord today, just knowing that Timmy's heart and soul rests in the peace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

I will always remember Timmy's smile.

Always remember that God's love is the greatest when your valleys are the deepest. His comfort is the seetest when your burdens are the heaviest. May you find strength and comfort through God's word and prayers.

My Love to all,
Timmy's Cousin

Very sorry to hear of this great loss for you and yours. Tim was a cousin of mine but we were to far apart in age to be close. But am close to Dorothy and hope that you all can find some peace soon. I will continue to pray for your Family. Janet and Jeff Nickles
