Ms Timlin, Susan and family,
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your husband/father. I had the privilege of meeting him a couple of times- and he was always so kind and sweet. Ms. Timlin- you and your husband always opened your wonderful home to all of us Susan’s friends- and also your condo in Florida- without hesitation and your kindness was soo overwhelming. I consider it such an honor to have had the opportunity to meet your daughter Susan in grad school- and have now formed a friendship with her that I will treasure forever. Due to that friendship, I then had the opportunity to meet two of the sweetest parents I have ever known. I know how much family means to Susan- and how hard of a time this is for her and all of you. Please know that you and your family our in my thoughts and prayers in this sad time. You are all such wonderful people. May God bless and watch over all of you. Take Care. Again- my sincere condolences. Love, Beth
