Thoughts from Tim
February 16, 2010

Dearest mother, I can not even come close to putting together the right words to describe to tragic loss we all feel. You were the most wonderful mother anyone could ever ask for. You always went out of your way to making everyone feel special. You were more then just a mother to us, you were a special friend, not only to us but our significiant others, our friends, (even the ones you didnt like), and everyone you met. You and dad gave the generations of kids that came and went through West Berlin the warmth and happiness that could be shared with everyone. You were well loved and respected by everyone and will be forever in our hearts. I can only hope that members of our family can take this tragic loss and realize how short life really is and to put aside all the grief and sorrow, look past the stupid things people do and leran to love each other for the people they are and except that no one is perfect. I hope that every memeber of our family looks at this as a new beginning for all of us, Faye-Bill and our their loved ones. Everyone needs to realize how precious every moment we have is, and as we lose members of our beloved family, new members arrive with the greatest of blessings. We all need to do a better job of keeping our family together and reaching out to each other. To all who attended my mothers services, and all who gave their precious donations, on behalf of myself, and my sisters we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. A special note to my wonderful sisters, my lovely wife, and my 2 brothers' in law and Stan.........In the last 20 years I have seen many, many ups and downs in our lives, many changes, many bad decisions, many good decisions, many tragic moments and many wonderful ones. Through all the bad words, all the judgements that have been passed and all hatred that has built up over the years, I can recall very few times that we all come together as a family without the baggage I just mentioned. I leave you with this and I ask you all one question, why does it take the biggest of tragidies (mom and dads death) or the greatest of moments (my wedding, moms 60th party) for all of us to forget, and be a family? Happy Valentines Day mom, I love you very much, I will forever miss you and dad.
