Not sure what to say?

We were saddened to learn of Father Timberlake's passing. We grew up with him as our minister of our church in Grand Haven. Geoff served many services with him as an alter boy. My family was very close to his family growing up and I even took a car trip to Washington, DC with my grandmother Olive Harbeck and him when I was in 4th grade.
