It is unreal to me that it has been four years. Nothing is the same anymore. The kids keep growing up even though I wish they would stay little. I think about you everyday all day. I listen to your music and hear your favorite songs. That brings me some peace. I don't question why you aren't here but sure wish you were. The kids are doing much better this year but you know that. Olivia thinks you are always watching her which kind of keeps her in line, if that's possible. Jordan has no idea how much he is just like you.....and Jill has your strength and your will to keep going. She stays pretty focused and is very much her own person. I know you are proud of them all. You are always in my thoughts and you will stay in my heart forever. I miss you and love you more than you could imagine.
hi dad i miss you very much but i know you will be very proud of me because im doing very good in school and im trying my all i've gotten two B's on my math test which i think you already know because your up thir watching over all of us and im very excited for halloween. i don't know about you but i am. I love you so much and bye just for now.
Missing you / Christine Pittsley (Friend)
I just wanted to let you know how much I miss you. I miss how you could always cheer me up with a dumb joke or a teasing reminder of what a hippy freak I was as a teenager. You were the glue that held a few relationships together as well and I really miss that too. I love you and I miss you! Timi, Olivia, Jordan & Jillian - I love and miss you guys too! Close
Just stopping by / Yolanda Barrett (Friend)
...to say hello. Timi, I know it's beena while since we spoke, but please know that just because we haven't spoken, doesn't mean that I've forgotten. I checked out the pics in the album, Oh my goodness the kids are bigger than you are. They are getting so big. I bet you're so proud of them and Verdell would be too. It's good to see you all still thriving and living life for Verdell. That's what he'd want. I wish I'd had a chance to meet you while he was living, I can just imagine the smiles you've seen on that man's face when he saw something beautiful. I know he smiled a lot when he looked at you because I can tell you are a beautiful person. I've gotten my van fixed and hopefully we can hook up soon and get acquainted, before it gets too cold. Anyway, I'm still praying with and for you all. Keep pressing honey, you guys are doing great!!! Keep us in your prayers as well. Smooches and love. Close
Well Honey. I am sitting here on a Saturday night while two of our children are at the movies together (that's a big shocker all by itself) with some friends and the other one is at a friends house. They are growing up so fast. Funny how life just keeps moving all around me as I stand here in the middle of this chaos. Thanks for still hanging around us every now and then. I think it keeps me sane.... if that's possible. Love you always!!
Well it's technically 4 mins after your birthday on the West Coast, but it's the time we would always talk. I can't believe that this much time has passed when it still seems as if you'll sign on. I miss you Soop and I know that you are always there.

Merry Christmas Honey!!! Our tree was beautiful - I think it would have been your favorite... you always wanted one just like it - Jordan picked the colors this year... the kids enjoyed their gifts and had a fun day.... Justin as you know is with us and he is having a great time. It's nice to see the kids sticking together.... It's just not the same but we find ways to make ourselves smile.... thinking of you always helps. As always I will love you forever. Close

timi and kids.
Timi, I started working with a gentlemen who is a giant like Verdell, but also he has the same manners, funny laugh and sense of humor. Although I never forgot any of you life gets busy and time flies. Whenever this gentleman speaks I have to look twice because I swear it is Verdell. I had Joey look at Jordan's picture he couldn't believe how big he is, either could I. We miss Jordan, I saw his pre school teacher in the grocery store the other day and I told her about Verdell, she broke down crying. we hugged for a few minutes and both shed tears for a man that truely was a gift that God gave to you and shared with us. Timi I hope all is well, know that none of us will ever forget you and the kids and you can always call on us. you are in our prays. Love LIz and Joey and Kara and Jamie Steinfeld. Close
Time flies and seems like forever at the same time / Miz J. (Friend)Read >>
Time flies and seems like forever at the same time / Miz J. (Friend) October is a month of so many emotions. First my Dad passed, then you, and it's my sisters birthday. This was always my favorite month in Georgia...the air was crisp and the leaves were turning.
Now it's a mixed bag. It doesn't seem like 3 years on some days and others it seems like a lifetime ago. I can't believe how old the kids are now. Timi is so much stronger than even she realized. I'm glad Jordan is well and I know you're always watching over them. I miss talking to you.
I didn't forget / Les Brooks Jr. (Friend) Hey Dell, I noticed it's been three years and I often think about you especially when the Portland is playing the Lakers and when the Washington is playing The Giants, But every time I hear (which is often) that Heather Headley "In my mind" I stop to really listen and wonder how Tim and kids are doing, You will never be forgotten, I'll always remember you. God Bless!
Well Honey, it's three years today. Can't believe it. Can't believe we are still standing. The kids are all taller than me and still growing. I still think about you all day every day. Some things will never change. Olivia is old, independent and stubborn (wonder where she gets that from); Jordan is you just a smaller version; and Jill, Jill has the biggest heart of all. Jordan had heart surgery yesterday to fix what you had and what he had. It's now gone and he is doing great. You would never know by looking at him. I know you are around us - some days more than others. Just keep coming. We will love you forever and miss you like crazy - but you know that.
Today was your day!! Not that any other day wasn't but this was the one day which celebrated the wonderful father you were...... And did you used to soak up every second of this day!! :) Our children were so lucky to have known you for as long as they did. It's because you spent so much time with them and actually took the time for the things that were important that they will grow-up to be strong, smart and warm hearted children. They have so much of you in them and I am so thankful for that! I brought Olivia and Jillian to South Carolina for a couple of weeks and Jordan will be going for the rest of the summer after the reunion..... You are remembered everyday but today we just sent you extra hugs!! We will love you forever.....

I shed a tear / Karema Lindsey

I could not fathem what it is that u go thru everyday. He is so young. sorry for you're loss. Sencerly, Karema Close
