I have the sweetest childhood memories with Tim when we would all lay on Grandma’s bed doing the silliest things like rolling our heads back and forth and laughing so hard. Tim loved well and worked hard to overcome his disabilities that would give him as normal a life as possible. I grieve, yet am overjoyed at the new life he is living. I imagine he and Aunt Bev dancing together for the first time down those streets of gold in a new body. Our love to all, especially Uncle Bill. I cannot fathom the hurt of losing a child, yet I know he is also rejoicing for Tim and Beverly being together.
It’s hard to fully imagine what heaven will be like, but while we grieve here, there’s a throng of people waving at him to welcome him home and Beverly must be the first in line.
Mr. Arnold and family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I worked with Tim for several years at NM..until nearly 2 yrs. ago. He was such a Blessing to us. Tim was always so sweet, loving and had a great sense of humor. We loved him immediately. Personally, Tim and I got along fabulously. We shared laughs and many talks of Jesus, of Heaven. He believed and, when he would speak of wanting to walk again; I would assure him that he was a Child of God, that he would walk again, maybe not in this life, but with Jesus in Heaven…and that he would be able to run also. Tim’s JOY lit up his face~ his beautiful blue eyes would shine and his smile! My heart even swells now thinking of these conversations and how he HAPPY he was in these shared times. We had many conversations like this. We prayed together. Tim was a HUGE BRIGHT part of each of my days at work. I wanted to share that with you. I visited Tim approximately a month ago and, he grinned when I went into his room. I was happy to see him as well, of course! He was sleepy and, I did not stay long but, I am thankful that I went. God rest his sweet soul. I am not coming to Tim’s service as I want to continue to remember “My ” Tim as he was. Oh, one more thing, Mr. Arnold, You know how happy he would be when you called or, preferably, came to visit and bring him cheesecake. THANK YOU. Your love meant everything to Tim…and of course, he loved YOU immensely! … and cheesecake. 🙂 I would tease him telling him that you spoiled him and again, I would get that beautiful smile. God Bless and keep you.
I just found out of Tim’s passing and am heartbroken. I send my condolences to the Arnold family. I worked with him for 2 years in an ISL a few years ago. He always had the biggest smile. We had so many good times together that I will always remember. He will be dearly missed!
