I was so sad to learn about your loss. I was Timmy's 6th grade teacher when he attended school at Newburgh, and I immediately recognized his name and picture in the paper. I remember him as a very kind boy in my class. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I just wanted to take a moment and remember Tim. He was very well liked at North and i can honestly say he did not have a single enemy. Tim was the kind of person that would give you the shirt off of his back if need be. He was the sweetest person I have ever known. And I know for a fact that he will be missed. My friend Ashley sat with him during class day on Tuesday and she told me about how he had said he wanted to go to either USI or IU. Tim had a bright future, and he was a smart kid. I met his aunt and mother and father at the funeral home and they were full of emotion. Most of all they were full of love, my heart goes out to his family. They need to know that Tim will be missed. I can even promise them that no one will ever be able to forget Tim. He had a heart of gold, and I will miss him greatly.

Tim,
I remember when you were born, I was about 10 years old. I saw you grow up over the years. We were all very lucky to have you in our family, and you will never be forgotten. Everyone that was lucky enough to be a part of your life will miss you very much.

May God comfort you in this time of need. I did not know Timmy, but he was a good friend to my niece Chasidy. She is deeply hurt by the loss of her friend, as I'm sure everyone is. I will pray for Timmy and his family. I'm sure he is seated with our Lord and savior. Blessed be to you.

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there
I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glint on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there
I did not die
God took another angel home!
