Linda & family - I am sorry to hear of Tim's passing. I saw that you wrote that he's with his parents and sister and that must be comforting. (A little tidbit I just learned in his obituary - he and I were born in the same city/state. I was born at the Naval Hospital, Portsmouth, Virginia.)

Linda & family, I am so saddened to hear about Tim's passing. Or maybe we can call it his journey to his peace. He was a great and pure man and I was lucky to have known him and your family. Blessings to you during your time of sorrow.

Dearest Linda, Elizabeth and Michael,
We heard of Tim's passing at choir last night and are so sad. We also saw the story of your journey as a family on the Nantz Alzheimers website. It was a beautiful picture of the love you gave Tim through a most difficult time in all your lives. We are praying that God will give you comfort and know you miss him. Our love to all of you.

I am so sorry for your loss. Although, I do not know your family personally, I would like to share some encouraging thoughts from the Bible. The Bible provides comfort during these difficult times. Revelation 21:3-4 states, And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. Very soon now, we will never experience losing our loved ones in death. May these words give you a new hope.
