Clara, Tim Jr. & family.
Tim was a great person, and friend who was like a part of our family and will be missed dearly by us as well as many others whose lives he touched. Our thoughts, love, and prayers are with you.
Dave, Kathy, Jenna, and Kiersten.
I will never say good-bye, I will say I will see you in heaven. You can now rest, no more pain or suffering. When we lose someone, the absence of their presence is the worst. Now you are with our mom and your siblings Cindy, Terry, Doris, and Billy. I know I will see you again but it does not help how I am feeling right now. I also know that God is in control. To Timmy and Troy, never forget the message your dad gave to me to give to you, hold on to that forever. I will not post that message on here because it was meant for only the two of you. I made a promise to Tim and I kept that promise and told you what he wanted you to know. Keep the faith, it will get you through, you may not think that right now but it will.
Love Always Aunt Frannie
