Not sure what to say?

Rest in peace

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

It is always difficult losing a sibling. It is especially hard when they are the baby brother. Despite his health issues over the years, Tim was a very strong and positive person. I know that I will miss him dearly. Rest in peace Tim until we meet again.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I am so sorry to hear of Tims passing. I went to schhol with Tim,We graduated in 1981. He looks just like Tic.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Family at this time of your loss.

You have our sympathies.
