Kathy and Family,

Our hearts were greatly saddened to hear of Tim's passing.
He was a very good man, such a giving person and we always enjoyed
being in his company.

There are no words to truly bring comfort. But, we hope that
in the days, months and years to come you will find some
peace in knowing that your love and care supported him and
helped him through the known and unknown trials of his
disease.

Tim leaves a wonderful legacy and many new lives because
he walked this earth.

Our most sincere condolences.
