Dear Hugh and Josie,
We were devastated to learn of Tim's death. We have many, many wonderful memories and pictures of both Tim and Trish happily playing with Laura and Kristen. One of our favorite photos is of Laura, Tim and Trina standing in our driveway on their first day of kindergarten. We have an old 8 mm film of Tim in our backyard, in his diapers, running in and out of, and tipping over a large cardboard box. Please accept our sincerest sympathies. Parents aren't supposed to have to bury their children. Love, Joan and Tom
