    Our heart and prayers go out to you all. I will always remember his smile and voice, usually telling the dogs to stop or come here! May he live on in the kids laughter and smiles! I will think of him often. God bless the family and God bless Tim’s amazing life. ❤️

    I know we all don’t think alike but I’ve always felt when Jesus takes a loved one he had a open position and had to fill it will the best candidate. I’m so sorry for your loss, keep the kids and your heads up and keep moving. From what I have learned about him on FB he would want it that way. Bless you

    May your memories and love help you through this most difficult of times. I pray everyday for the Messina family to get through the heartbreak each day with strength and support of each other as well as your family and friends. Tim will continue to live on through the lives his Mother and Sister and the entire family. Especially his children Catherine, Andrew and Abigail, Cherie who loved each other so deeply, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. May God bless you and keep you.
