Timmie -- you will be missed, not just by our family, but by all whose lives you touched. Your eyes always twinkled. You inspired us to live giving, joyful lives. You taught us to be good to others, to hold dearly to avocation, and not to take ourselves so seriously. Your values live on in us all. We love you Timmie.

Aunt Timmie was always such a joy. She had a great story always at the ready. The children adored her visits and we loved seeing her when she came to town. Going out to dinner was always something special, but it rose to a new level of closeness and memories when Aunt Timmie could join us.

Prayers and love.

John, Sherry, Will, Justina and Marissa.
