I have a great memory of Tim Holmes. We started on the same T-ball team together. We wore bright orange jerseys and we played for the Astros at Powder Springs Park. My family could always spot Tim because of his blonde hair and his smile. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this time.

MY FAMILY,

I will miss Tim more than you know. I can't even think of how this is on you that were closer to him. I keep remembering playing with him as a child. He was the baby cousin for so long. He had a way about himself that you couldn't help but love. My tears are endless as is my love for Tim. I know he is in a better place. I see him fishing with papa. He can sleep now in peace. He can see now, he can look after us all from above. Aunt Glenda, Uncle Ronny, Thank you both for giving me such a sweet cousin. God will be with him now. I love you all very much.

Tim was Dusty's best friend. He was always ther for Dusty through the good and the bad. There are no words to describe how much he meant to us. We will never forget the good times we all had when he spent the weekends with us. I loved to watch the two of them play jokes on each other and laugh until my cheeks hurt. He will stay in our family's heart forever.

Ronny & Glenda,

I cannot begin to imagine what you are going through in losing a child. I think back a few years ago when Tim and Tommy played football together and the smiles we all enjoyed coming from their faces. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families. He is in a better place.

God Bless you all. I know this is so hard for you. Daddy called me Monday morning to tell me. I could do nothing but stare. Tim had left a message for me on my machine awhile back. I immediately went to look for that tape. It always makes me smile. He will be missed and just know that if you need anything, Please - Do not hesitate to ask. I love you all and God Bless.

Dear Ronny, Glenda & family,



Death is a heartache that never can be forgotten, but memories will live on forever. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. This has to be one of the hardest things a parent has to do is to give up a child. But heaven will be a brighter place with Tim there.

Glenda and Family,

I cannot begin to imagine your grief. Tim will be missed so much by everyone who knew him. His sweet nature and polite shyness were constant reminders of how we all hope our children will grow up to be. I will miss seeing him on Sunday mornings in the kitchen greeting folks and giving out hugs and handshakes. I'll look forward to those greetings again when I see him in glory. May God comfort you in these times. Dianne

I only knew Tim through Cindy. He seemed like a very good young man and the world has lost another of the fine ones.
