My Aunt Jeanne and Uncle Byron used to bring Tim to our family's holiday gatherings. I think everyone was a little uncomfortable at first but as we got to know Tim, we really enjoyed seeing him and having him celebrate with us. When Uncle Byron died, I was touched to see Tim sitting in the front pew with Aunt Jeanne at the funeral. I think he brought them a lot of joy. My condolences to the family.
