My heart is breaking for you all. Tim loved you girls so much. He was always talking about the new things you were doing, and so excited that you liked him hanging out with you. Your Dad was larger than life, his smile and laughter could and did fill the room. He always thought of his friends and family first before himself. I know the last few months have been extremely tough. It is unfair that you had to see him suffer this way. I know it doesn't make things any easier but at least he is not in pain anymore. Denise he loved you so fiercely, and thank God he had you. You are an angel on earth. I hope these words bring some sort of comfort to you all. He is already missed so much and will live on through all the memories. Hugs to you all
