To the Family of Tim,
I loved Tim, he was a special friend of my brother, Austin Murphy. He was so kind and I loved his smile, sparkling eyes and his laugh!!! Tim spent a few thanksgivings at our home and he was always welcome. He even helped watch our children with Nana for a weekend. I will miss him so much... I'm comforted that he is in heaven with my brother. It's so hard to loose people we love . My prayers are with you all.
