I have struggled to find the right words to express on here. I truly miss you and the memories of my little buddy from so many years ago. I have cherished our talks more recently and hold on the the sound of the the last time you said to me "I love you too, Stacey!" I came across a quote that I thought you would appreciate since you were such a lover of words and literature. This was just so beautiful and I knew it was the right thing to share.
" When he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of Heav'n so fine
that all the world will be in love with night
and pay no worship to the garnish sun. "
- William Shakespeare
You truly have made heaven so much greater and every time I see the stars I can't help but think that they shine brighter now. I look forward to the day we meet again; til then, I feel comfort in knowing that I have you with me always; that you experience nothing but love, joy and peace in your place in heaven.
~Love for always,
Stacey

I will always remember Timmy's smiling face - he was such a happy child. I have never seen anyone deal with cancer with the courage Tim had, I believe he stayed strong for all of us, what brave young man he was. Until we meet again Tim - Rest In Peace - we will always love you. Your Aunt Sherry
Timmy was a child filled with love and appreciation for the daily gift of life. He was keenly aware of every activity around him, quietly recording all in memory for future benefit. Throughout his childhood he knew death lurked in the shadows, but raced ahead in daring admonishment with achievements well ahead of his years. As a teenager Timothy did not lack self-esteem as a result of his limited vision. His strength was living each day to the fullest. During his high school years Timothy always accepted every experience and challenge as an opportunity to grow. Tim grew into a young man possessing enviable courage never accepting failure as an option. He possessed strong moral fiber and integrity. His judgment and analysis of people and events was almost always on the mark. I’ll always be very appreciative that the Almighty one blessed me with the opportunity to travel with Tim through the dark valleys’ and shining mountain tops. As I finish my journey through life, it’s comforting to know that Tim will be with the angels holding a guiding light.
Love always Dad
A Poem For the Family:
Do Not Weep
Come Closer Together to Recuperate
For He’s Not There
Because He Does Not Sleep
He Is a Rush of Autumn Leaves
Riding On a Breeze
A Flake of Snow
Blowing in the Wind
Sunlight with a Rainbow
Letting You Know He Made It In
Do Not Weep
For He’s Not There
Because He Does Not Sleep

To my beloved son- I will miss you deeply.There is no greater hurt then the loss of a child.You are the most courageous person that I know.Words cannot express the joy that you gave to us in the 26 years that we were privileged to know and love you.You taught us the meaning of the word strength in the life that you lead while fighting cancer. Not once but twice.
I will miss our lunches after class and the trips to the mall and matinee movies. But most of all I will miss your company, your smiles your laughter. I thank God for everyday He
has allowed you to be here with us. Even though the pain is deep ,I know he has called you home to be with Him. God Bless you son on your journey home.
Love,
Mom
