I want you to know you are still in my prayers daily.
This is Eilene, Tim's cousin if I am not asking too much would it be possible to send me a Holy Card from the chapel? Here is my info:

Thank you so much I would just like to have something to remember him by.
Boy did he tease me when I was younger. I always stayed at Gramma Dourdy's all summer. I would always make him move his ship LOL. I thought it was so cool. It is such a shame we all went seperate ways. But, I know he loved you so much and the girl's, also Timmy.
Please take care and know we are still thinking about you and your family in our prayer's.
Please send your address also when you feel up to it.

Love Eilene

Dear Kathy,
Although we didn't know Tim very well, we could tell he was a big teddy bear, and could tell you were crazy about each other. We are so sorry for you loss. Glad to see you have such a big family in you time of need. If there is ever anything you need, we are just down the street, don't hesitate. Love and Prayers, Barb and Tom

I was thinking about Tim wondering how he was doing? I feel terrible no one even called me, I didn't even know about Aunt Amelia.

I am so sorry for your loss. When I was younger I also stayed at Gramma Dourdy's, especially when he lived nect door.

I am Pinky's & Barbara's sister in case you are wondering who I am.

My heart goes out to you and your family, I am so sorry.

Please call me if you can.

All my love to you all.

Dear Kathy and family,

We are so sad to hear of your loss. We can only remember Tim as a wonderful friend and will miss his great sense of humor and all the fun times we shared in recent years. You really picked a good one when you found him - we hope that all the memories of your time with him will carry you through. "Captain Tim" will always have a place in our hearts. Hang in there!

Dear Kathy,
Although we did not know you and Tim very well, we will never forget how kind you and Tim were to us when we first decided to buy at Oak Ridge. My son in law still has the boots that Tim gave him!!! It is because of people like you and Tim that others feel so welcome in a new place.
Our prayers are with you and you family.

Dear Aunt Kathy,
So sorry to hear about Uncle Tim. He was so awesome. A couple great memories he gave Jason and me was making sure we didn't drink his Busch beer while camping, and that the battle ship on his chest was a rowboat when he was a kid our age. You are in my prayers
Love,
David Javor

Dear Kath,
No one knows better than you what a great guy Tim was! I will always remember all the fun we had on our little outings - whether it was my lake house, camping or cruising! We could always count on a lot of fun if Tim was with us - one of the best times of my life was the cruise - when you got lost on the island and the talent show that night when Tim got dressed up in my nightgown and bra - I can still laugh until I cry when I think of that day. I know the memories of all the wonderful times you shared with him will be of great comfort to you and all the kids.

Love,
Rosie
