Another card for the stack ...

I knew Timm back when I was in a Singles Group called GAP at Salem Alliance Church in 2002. We started going about the same time, and Timm was a wonderful person to be around. He was friendly, funny, and I knew he loved God.

We had a Disco/70's party at his loft in Silverton, and to see all his amazing photography was a special gift--he was so talented and I so badly wanted him to photo shoot my daughter Lillie. I wish I would've had him do so...

I lost touch with my GAP friends, but I saw Timm at a Harry Potter Party at Border's in 2005, and I was so surprised--not only did I get to see an old friend, but another Harry fan at that. Timm was always so nice and friendly, and the first thing he asked me was how my little girl was doing.

Timm was so helpful to us with our SS needs and issues while he worked with Darlene Hooley's office. We will never forget all of the time and effort he gave us, listening to our frustrations and making sure what needed to be done was accomplished. Thank you Timm for helping our family!

I also remember that when our GAP group went on a retreat to the mountains, and Timm played guitar and sang with us. He had a beautiful voice, and yet another gift from God to share. We had such a crazy time singing songs and playing music games. I will never forget that weekend!

I just now found out today about Timm's passing. All of his family and friends are in our prayers, and I know he is greatly missed. Please know that he left a small imprint on my families lives and we will forever be thankful.
