Thankful for the conversations we had about our faith and salvation, and that I know that one day, we will meet again.  Moment of silence for our friend and brother.

Well, I guess the inevitable has unfortunatly arrived. Thanks for letting us know, James. We have lost a good member and friend.

I have lost two people to the same parasitic, evil illness, it has no friends and has no morals.  Its strange, I've never met any of you guys, but I now feel like I've lost a third friend.

RIP.

I'm like Limey57 in that I'm across the other side of the world, and while I don't know any of you personally, this forum has a great family feel about it, so when one of the family goes, we are all touched by it. RIP.

 I didn't know Tim that well, only as a member but he seemed to be thankful for the extra few days he was given.

Way too young.

Best to his family.

Tim and his family are really special. Guessing most of you didn't know he and his wife used to travel to Guatemala and do service work in one of the most impoverished village. His plan was to quit working soon and start an orphanage down there. Truly one who lived his faith.

Godspeed Timeteo..............

    WOW Zap!    I didn't know that about Tim.  it takes a very special person that gives so much to others that would never ever be able to pay him back.  He will certainly be blessed for that.
     I will continue to pray for his wife and family.  His passing is certainly a huge loss to them.

It is most difficult to realize dieing is part of living.  Tim had a great faith based life, his love of the Lord gave him the strength to face this horrible disease.  I expect his family will find strength as well from their faith.  Did not know him personally, just here.  Only God can answer why it is the good die young.  RIP Tim.
