Tim was a great person and I just wanted Rachele to know we are so sorry for the loss of him and know that we are there for you

Rachelle,

I can't even begin to tell you how sorry I am. I can't imagine what it must be like to lose a sibling, let alone one you were so close with. Uncle Tim was a great man. I can't picture him in my head without a HUGE smile on his face. He had such a unique laugh. I never met anyone who projected so much energy. I know there's nothing I can say or do to ease the pain, but know that I love you.

To the entire Cross family,



Words cannot even begin to express the deep sorrow I feel! Tim was one of the happiest, most fun-loving souls I have ever met. He made you smile even if you didn't feel like smiling! Like Aunt Sue said "he lit up a room". May you all find comfort in God and know that He will hold us close in this hard, hard time!

We can't express our sorrow in words. He was part of our extended family and our loss is deep and painful. But in honor of our friend we will smile and laugh and remember him for the zest for living and the everyday things that gave him joy. We will miss you Tim, but we are grateful for the time we shared and the ever lasting impact you had in our lives. Hope the fishin' is good.
