Kari, Teri Lyn, and family please accept my deepest sympathies. I remember the first time Tim and I met and after a couple of hours he made me feel like part of the family. That memory is forever etched in my heart.

Susan -
I'm still in disbelief over Tim's passing. I was so looking forward to meeting him at the Mission of Mercy clinic! And it broke my heart to find out what had happened. I know how much he meant to you, how much he was a part of your daily life, and how much he will be missed. He's truly pain free now, and for that I know you're thankful. You did so much for Tim during his last years, that he'll be forever tnakful, too. You'll be in our thoughts and praysers for days to come.

Susan and family... I was so shocked to see Tim's name in the obituaries. I went to school and worked with Susan. I lost my sister Barbara at the age of 54 three years ago. Sending my thoughts and love to you. Nancy Hauschild. Portland, Oregon
