Little Bro - There are no words to express how sad I am for your loss. From the first time we met, it was very clear that your children were at the core of your heart and I love you for that. His life brought you so much happiness. Please take time to remember all those sweet, funny and crazy things that you and Tim Jr had together. It's one of the many things that make his life important. Keep good thoughts Timmy. I love you honey and I'm here for you.

I grew up with TJ and Tabatha but I hadn't seen them in a while, but every time I ran into him it was like we just spoke the other day. He was one of the most genuinely nice guys I've ever met. I'm so sorry for your loss.
