I write to you, the loving family & friends of Timothy because of the news today (11.13.17) that will perhaps provide you some help as you continue to be on this heartbreaking journey of having lost your son, your brother, your grandchild, nephew, friend. What a handsome young man he indeed was. We do not know one another, but we share Evelyn & Jim the sad reality of having survived the death of a child. I had to write and let you know I send you my sincerest sympathy although many months have passed since the tragic death of your Timothy. As I have been on this journey longer than y'all have and grasp that grief is universal as an emotion, but it is absolutely personal I encourage your family to take your time and do it in your own way. No one will ever be able to take away your memories of Timothy . My only advice Jim and Evelyn is to encourage you to say Timothy's name aloud ~ as only you, his parents, can.
Sincerely, McCain Hoffman

My sincerest, deepest sympathies. As a mother of two young men, this was one of my deepest concerns. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help make sure this doesn't happen to another of our fine young men. May God help you on your way to healing. [email protected]

To the dear family of Timothy Piazza: I am so, so sorry for your inconsolable loss whose pain and despair can never be fully understood. Sweet family, I am praying for you during this incredibly difficult time, asking our Lord Jesus to hold each one of you so tight and to bring real, genuine and authentic comfort to you. Words cannot even begin to properly express the utter devastation that your son's story has brought to so many other families. Mr. and Mrs. Piazza, rest assured, that untold numbers are praying and lifting you up and petitioning our Lord to bring a full measure of hope and peace to your brokenness. Please lean into your family and friends and extended support system and let your faith bridge you from a broken today into a hopeful tomorrow. May our Lord's grace and mercy remain with you. You are loved.

He will never be forgotten.

It is important for as many people as possible to hear what you have to say; so no other family has to face a beautiful life cut short in such a senseless way.

I hope that creating good out of the most horrible tragedy will help you find peace.

Dear family of Tim Piazza,
I live all the way in Colorado and have been so upset about this story. I wish there was something i could do to help with the pain you are feeling. I lost a friend in college from binge drinking Samantha Spady. She died in a frat house as well. TO relive the pain and the unimaginable loss, the feeling of helplessness overcame me. YOUR SON WILL NEVER BEN FORGOTTEN. More people think about him and are praying for your family than you know. I am sending lots of love from the rocky mountains. Rest in peace, TB

I have 2 children who have graduated from college.
I always dreaded the midnight phone call from

You don't know me, but I am another person whose heart breaks from afar for your loss. I can not stop thinking about Timothy. His story has affected a lot of people, but surely with no comparison to how his family has been affected. I do hope that somehow the collective compassion and sorrow felt across the country for his loss can bring you some comfort. He is watching over you, and his life continues to have tremendous power and value.
