Dearest Krista, Jake, Josh, Luke and the entire Nolan family:

Although we have only had the wonderful pleasure of knowing your family for the past 3 years, Tim has left a huge mark on our lives with that memorable smile and kind heart. When I think of Tim I think of him and Krista teaching my son Josh baseball and every time Tim showed him how to hold that bat correctly, he reverted to doing it his way, and there was Tim lifting the bat again, and again so he could get a hit and we would just all stand there laughing. You are a very strong, wonderful and delightful family. Our prayers and thoughts are constantly with you.

God Bless and if we can be of any help at all, please let us know.

Dear Krista, Jacob, Joshua, Luke, and the Nolan family,
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this time. It doesn't surprise me at all that Tim was so beloved by all his family and friends. The many tributes and memories people have of Tim must warm your hearts and give you some needed comfort.
Being Tim's teacher while he was a student at Prairie Jr. High brings back only the best of memories. I can still see Tim sitting in my classroom, always smiling and being a wonderful lad. He loved St.Paddy's Day and wore his green on that day to show his spirit for the Irish. Tim was always involved in the many clubs at Prairie and it was with special pride that all of us teachers were blessed to have taught Tim, Brian, Jeanne and Patrick.
You think about heroes and the brave deeds they do. What a heroic life Tim has had, being a wonderful husband and terrific Dad, and enduring so much. Surely that will go a long way in thinking and remembering Tim in only the best of ways.
God's blessings on all of you and may our Lord hold all of you in the palm of his hand with Tim standing at his side.
With my sincerest sympathy,
Maribeth Callahan
