Tim and Christina had a one-of-a-kind, loving relationship that was a real testament of true love. Tim was the center and foundation for his family and loved ones. Tim had knowledge on just about everything and always had the perfect advice for any situation. Tim achieved a lot in his life, but the words and wisdom and love that he left behind are his greatest achievements. Tim was someone that you could always lean on and depend on for anything. One of his greatest gifts was the ability to add humor to any situation, and he used this gift to give joy to so many others. There are no words that can express the impact that Tim left on this world and in our hearts. His loss leaves a giant hole that can never be filled, but his deeds in life will bring smiles forever.
