I was driving to work this morning feeling the most broken heart that I've ever experienced in my 45 years. Still trying to wrap my head around this whole situation & knowing that my WHY'S will never be answered. This past week has been a huge roller coaster of emotions for all of us.
In that moment of wonder, I came around a corner & couldn't help but notice just how the sun was shining so bright right in my face. The sun rays were the most beautiful I've ever seen. The tears streamed, but I know that was just one sign of hopefully MANY that you're here with me Tim, right by my side. I would do anything to have you here again my dear brother, but I can feel you in my heart always! Thank you showing me some light again.
Your loving sister always, Lori

I will cherish all our memories, but my favorite is always going up to our family's cottage in Maine, he worked a lot so getting time off to go up there was rare for him, but when he did get to go up you couldn't get that big smile off his face, that was his happy place, he taught me everything I know about fishing and being outdoors and I will thank him forever for that. I love you so much, Dad. Rest in the sweetest paradise.

Tim you where one of the kindest, loving, simple man I knew. Always there to lend a hand and give a hug. Loved family and loved to talk. Always had stories too tell. You where the best brother in law that I knew I could always count on. Enjoy the fishing up there catch a big one and give Dad a big hug from us. We will meet again! You will be missed and in our hearts forever. Love Always and Forever Wendy.

You will never know the impact you had on me once upon a time on a mean playground. You had a heart of gold and the world shines a little less bright now that you're gone. Be at peace, Timmy.

I still can't believe you are gone Tim. I will forever miss our 3 hour conversations whenever I stayed with you and Robyn. We had so much fun talking and picking on each other! You had such a big heart. You were part of my family, in my heart, you always will be. I know you are in heaven with your dad now. That should bring everyone a little peace knowing that. Rest peacefully my friend. Love you. Til we meet again

My Dear Brother, my Best Friend, Timmy,
I NEVER thought I'd see the day where I wouldn't hear your extensive passionate conversations, your signature goofy smile in every picture we took or you're daily struggle, yet you had such a love for life, family & friends anyway. As I'd like to believe, you're the lucky one who gets to see Dad now and go fishing everyday if you want.
I know they say that you'll always be in my heart, but it's hard to believe such a thing when it will be broken for eternity now.
I must say that despite all the struggle you endured through life, you became the most amazing man in all aspects & it's very comforting knowing you had reached your happy point in life when God took you from us. For that I will be forever be proud of you. Thank God I was able to tell you that a couple weeks ago.
I know these emotions of pain & anger will subside eventually, but I know you'll always be right next to me, guiding me through my paths in life that I take. Nothing will ever be the same as I knew it without you here, you were my rock Timmy. The WHY'S & questions are already trying to take over my mind mentally, but I won't let them.
Until we meet again my dear brother, I promise I will wake everyday & put that smile on my face, do what you would've wanted me to keep doing, like fishing, listening to our music, helping take care of our family & living life to it's fullest. (I might even start to enjoy a Mopar or two.)
We're so blessed with all the love & support we've received Tim, just goes to show that you were the best to all. Please know that I will LOVE you immensely for eternity & you'll always be in my broken heart. See ya CHOOCHY! XOXO
Your loving Sister Lori
