Cecilia Bourguet My deepest condolences March 30, 2015
 

My condolences, as feelings of pain and bitterness become unbearable. It is my desire to convey a comforting thought based on the Holy Scriptures

          

  John 5:28 "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out."

 

 

This passage speaks of the resurrection of our loved ones. It is not God's plan to see us suffer and die, so He extends the following invitation to us: "Come near to God and He will draw near to you" (James 4:8)

 

Please go to the following link to obtain more information regarding the Hope expressed in this passage and again we are sorry for your loss.

We will always remember Tim for his steadfast love for God and example to us and our children. Much history among us. Births of children, brat making, ice cream socials, Christmas tree selections, baptisms, weddings, anniversaries, Schnaar Christmas parties, racquetball games, golfing, outings in the RV, dinner out, cards, camping, Shady Lakes campground and LAUGHING. We love him and always will. Glad to know he is above us shaking his head at our tears.

Friends forever,

Denny and Barb Tilly
Sharey & Bob Willi Sympathy to you and your family February 6, 2014
 
Bob and I were so sorry to hear of Tim's passing. Bob has great memories of making sausage with him for St. Phil's and Boy Scout events. I remember when he would come in to Dr. Lawless's office for work. He always had a smile and a kind word for all of us. You are in our prayers.
