Timothy,
The man who I learned to call Dad, Such an inspiration to my life! My number one fan, and supporter, the one person who always made time for me in life. Your wisdom will be missed deeply, as it already is Tim. I Thank you for all the amazing memories and time I got to spend with you as my Dad, I Thank you for all the help you provided to me and my family, as almost everything we have is Thanks to you. Thank you for teaching me and my children more and more about God, and always being a listening ear, a friend, a shoulder, a hand, a Dad!!! Man I miss you so bad, the tears don’t stop. I know you’re in your element and happy as can be right now, for that I’m Thankful- but I sure do miss you Dad.
I Love you Timothy…
Dad, you have been a major influence on my life. Looking at how much you love Jesus is inspiring to tons of people, especially me. You have had a really good legacy of following God’s commandments especially the one that is “you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and all your mind, and you must love your neighbor as yourself.”
You have done this commandment by loving anyone who comes into contact with you. I will do my best to carry on this legacy. Even though it is hard to see you leave us, you are not hurting anymore and that’s the important thing. I know you didn’t leave this earth any sooner than what God has planned. I love you so much and miss you tremendously. I am truly blessed to have you as my dad. I will see you again when I finish my race and I can’t wait to see what you see now. I love you dad.
Dear Tim!
You changed my life in so many ways and I am who I am today because of you. Words cannot describe how thankful I am for everything that you have done for me. You believed in me. Thank you for being my host dad for the best two years of my life Thank you for the multiple vanilla coffees you bought me on our way to school. Thank you for teaching me how to drive (although I am still afraid of it). Thank you for every life lesson. Thank you for the movies we watched, the games we played and the multiple memories you gave me. Thank you for taking me into your family and your home. Thank you so very much. You are forever in my heart.
We only met you and your beautiful wife a short time ago. But I could tell you were a man who loved life and his family. I’m so happy to have met you. We loved having you at our church, Cornerstone Freewill Baptist Church. I’m sure we will cross paths again someday.
