Tim, Todd, Tracy. I am so sorry for your loss. May the Lord be looking over all of you. Prayers your way.
Tim and Robin, you did an amazing job helping your dad get through his final stage of his battle with cancer. Find peace in knowing he was aware of your love and support for him as he passed peacefully. May your faith give you strength through this painful experience. We are sorry for your loss.
I hope you find peace knowing Tim’s dad is no longer suffering. I will keep your entire family in my thoughts and prayers as you navigate through this painful loss.
What a long and difficult battle he fought and he did it with grace and determination. Tim, you did a remarkable job of taking such wonderful care of your dad. No one could ask for a more loving and responsible son. He was so very proud of you and your family. I know you will miss him terribly, but he is in a much better place. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you!
Dear Tim, Todd, and Tracy,
So sorry to hear about your loss. Wish there was something I could do to help you in this time. I have fond memories of your father, he will always hold a place in my Heart. My deepest sympathies.
Sincerely,
Marc Gomez
Please add my condolence as I’ve already provided it.
My sympathies to all of David’s family, near and far. Prayers and condolences
Sorry for your loss! He was great to work with, and could keep me engaged for hours talking.
I enjoyed working with him in Charlotte, just before First Union Bank changed over.
He’ll be missed.
