Tim,
I needed some time to pass before writing,can't help thinking of you with Our Heavenly Father. When you stood before him I can only imagine how he embraced you with all his Love and the Happiness & peace you feel. For now I remember you with tears in time with smiles & laughter. Tim you touched so many of us. You couldn't see the love we had for you.
Thinking of you always, I will keep you alive with your memory in my heart.
Love Lynn Bates
