You were like family to me. The shock of losing you so suddenly still hasn't subsided. I know you will be looking down on all of us, and I will try to keep living my life in a way that you would be proud of.

Keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult loss. We lived just down the street from the Kilburns on Bullene when we were kids. We played in their yard and walked to school together every day. Tim was my first childhood crush. I got my first kiss from him in their treehouse when we were about 6 years old. We reconnected in "the rooms" at one point several years ago. RIP Tim. You are now free of your pain. You are free now. ~Lana Christie (Hayes) ~

I've known Tim for a number of years and he was always so thoughtful and enjoyable although he was in such pain.
Philip, I am so sorry for your family for the loss of a good man. Vi Gottstein, Tecumseh, Ks.
