Dearests Joan, Meredith, Shayne and Leah,
Words cannot express or explain the sorrow at such a sudden loss of a loved one.
May the peace that only Christ can give fill your hearts at this time and remain with you, remembering that Tim is now Home and embraced in all that is truly Good and True and Beautiful. God alone is our journey in this life and Tim has run the race, completed the journey. The veil between this life and eternity in Heaven is truly thin. You will one day all be together again! Keep the faith!
With all my love,
In Christ,
Elizabeth
