Karen, Kim, and Danny,
I have so many great memories of Timmy and your family. Your house was like a second home to me and my sisters growing up. I remember having dinner on several occasions at your kitchen table. I haven't seen Timmy in many years but I'm so glad to know he went on to have such a rich and wonderful life. He was a great soul.

Timmie and the rest of the Avazian family were a special group in my office. Always full of fun and energy. We kind of grew up together. Tim was more like a friend than a patient..his mom and dad were the same..It is hard to believe a guy with so much positive energy has left us. His life was full and he enjoyed it to the fullest..he will be missed by all who knew him.
May he rest in peace knowing his memory will last long beyond his years.
