Tim, although we didn't really get to know each other all that well, you and your brother have left a lasting impression in my heart. The way your brother used to talk about you and the way you both lifted each other up was truly remarkable. Sad that I didn't really get to know my new brother but happy to know you and ryan where there for my sister. You will be missed.

Timmy-
I still can't believe I'm not going to see your smiling face or hear your infectious laugh again.
You were another brother to me.
I love you and miss you.
I look forward to the day when I will see you again in heaven.
In the meantime, we will keep watch over Maura and Jimmy and Ryan and Maggie for you down here.
Peace, cousin.
Love you-
Katie

Ryan, Maggie and Family. My prayers and thoughts go out to you during this difficult time. Tim, my brother from another mother, was one of the best people I've ever met. I am truly blessed to have called him friend. I will never forget his story telling and making you feel like you were his best friend rather he knew you for years or just met you. May God continue to strengthen you and give you peace. Love you guys.

Our deepest condolences to Tim's family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Tim was a special person and the world has lost a lot of light with his passing. His heart was always open to all, and he was never in a bad mood - always had a smile on his face. May he rest in peace and may God's blessings be upon you.

"There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love." - Washington Irving
