My Husband Tiny and I

There is not one day that goes by that I don't think or talk about Tim to my husband. I wnated to fly Tim out here to Colorado in Febuary so he could meet my husband.I had talked to Tim one week before his passing and sent him pictures to his phone with me and my husband and he sent me a text stating...it is about time that I am happy looking. I could always talk to him and he would give me advise on what to do....I took his advise and couldn't be any happier. Just really sad that he couldn't see it for himself in person. I know he is looking down on everyone saying it is ok..keep going with your days smiling and accomplish something good in your life. What breaks my heart is knowing that his family is suffering from not having him around everyday. My deepest prayers are out to his family and friends for he is/was a wonderful man who took pride in all the convos and laughter that he shared with everyone! I Love and Miss you Tim and I will keep on smiling knowing that you were in my life and in my daughters life!!! You will be forever missed and Loved!!!

My thoughts and prayers are with all of Tim's family and friend's. I met Tim online in a talk program. After a few months we exchanged numbers,Tim and I talked over the phone after that for 3 yrs or so just about every night or day, We were gonna meet several times but either I was having health concerns or Tim was. Tim was a dear friend.We never ran out of things to talk about.He had the heart of a giant.Tim so loved his Daughters, his MOMMA,his Aunt Mary and his Siblings.My son and daughter both talked to he on line with the cam on plus all my friends knew of him. When I made the afaghan my Pastor tried everything to talk me out of it. Tim never complained,he stood strong. Tim is with God now. I miss Sweets very much.(that was a nickname I gave Tim)He helped me more then he ever knew. Tim and I will get to meet in Heaven, where none of us will be sick or in pain.I hope to keep in touch with family and any of Tim's fiend's who would like. e-mail [email protected] Tim you will always be right here in my heart forever and I Love you my FRIEND!

To Patti and the Kelly family,
I was so sorry to hear about Tim's passing. Though I did not know him well, I know through Patti that you all are a close-knit family. While having such a family is a tremendous pleasure when everyone is together, it makes times like this so very difficult. Please know that my thoughts and prayers will be with you all during this time.

My heart and thoughts go out to Tim's Family in this difficult time.
I really appreciate people like Tim in this thing called our walk of life. When things really seemed at their worst, Tim knew the right thing to say. It's so wonderful knowing people like Tim. Problem is, those people are very few and very far between.
I'm so glad I had Tim as a friend (a true friend, with a heart) in my life; even if it was only for a brief time. He will truly be missed. In a world where everything seems wrong he found some "Right" to share.
He was a very unique person. People like him don't come along every day. Sometimes we don't always take the time to appreciate the wonderful things in our lives; but Tim's friendship was one of those so very appreciated because he was such a wonderful, caring, giving person.
I am very grateful that a person of his stature chose to be a part of my life. Stature doesn't always mean one's "high" standing in the community, as most people think; but the height that a person carries within their hearts.
What most people can't seem to figure out about "stature"...is that it's 'Where' you stand with "Who" that makes the difference. Standing with a huge heart is worth more than standing in some high position for everyone to see. The Heart's eye can see further and deeper than the mind's eye. This is what I liked about Tim. He was in "High Standing"; and still is.

I am so sorry to hear of Timmy's passing. Although I have not seen him in quite awhile he was with me in the wonder years at Woodmont. What a time that was. I am glad you were there to share some special moments with the other Woodmonters. Our prayers are with the Kelly's from the Bowen family.

To the Kelly Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I went to school with Tim and he was a wonderful friend and I know he'll be missed.

A fond farewell to a long time Woodmonter, Bon Airian, and Midlothian Trojan. Indeed, now that he has been released from what can be a painful life of a mortal and delivered into the loving arms of his savior and life eternal, we can all proceed on our journey with a wee bit more understanding and solace. Pax, our friend...

For Tims children- Your Dad was so proud of you. He often bragged on how pretty you were and how much he loved you. Tim was a good man. A man that always put others abouve himself. His quick wit and laughter will never be forgotten. He was a good friend and a wonderful man,

Tim was a true friend to me, and I will always miss him. Now he is with my son, sister, and many others in our families who "got there early". I can just see Tim's eyes widen in amazement at the sights he is now seeing! If anyone deserved to be at the side of our Savior, it was Tim.
To his daughters: Tim was so proud of you and he talked to me several times of his love for you. When it should have been easy for Tim to give up, he said, "It was one more day for me to be alive and show my daughters I love them." I also heard him speak of his love for his mom and siblings. He never doubted his love for you or that he was loved by you. God bless you all in this tough time in your lives.

To Patti and the Kelly family - I am truly saddened that you have lost Tim. Words, of course, can not begin to ease the grief that accompanies such a tragic loss. I wish you all peace and comfort during this time, and hopefully you will find blessings this holiday.

Tim, your family is certainly fortunate to have had you for so many years. Your friends are already missing you like crazy and Debbie and I prayed over you yesterday after you said goodbye to this life.
Your sense of humor, quick wit, wonderful laugh and joy will be with me always. We have been through this siege with you long distance and close up and personal for a long time. Your release into the arms of the angels is long awaited. We didn't want you to spend one more moment in pain.
With love and honor, you lived a great life and fought the good fight. You will be missed and fondly talked about for many years to come. May God bless you! Your favorite Pooh
