My sincere condolences to the family of Jim Timmerman...
I had the pleasure of meeting Jim at church. He was a kind man with a wonderful smile & I'm glad I was given the opportunity to meet him.
I would like to share this story ....
Jim brought brownies to church for a pot luck & he asked me if I thought the brownies would be good even though he only used 1 egg when the box said to use 2, but he put extra frosting on them. I told him that they would be perfect! -extra frosting definitely made up for it :)
May God give you peace during this difficult time.
Jim is home & he is at peace now.
With sympathy, Diane Hartzer

To my Grandfather Jim Timmerman:
The greatest and strongest man I have ever known.
When I was small and not to tall you were so special to me. Your voice was deep your eyes so sweet. You were always there. We were quite a pair. You taught me of life and taught me of Christ. Now I have grown. I'm on my own... And as I look back to see how things have changed nothing seems the same But, You are still so special to me.
Love you grandpa. I will miss you everyday for the rest of my life.
Your home now.
Love you with my whole heart,
- Matt
Rest in peace
