New Year's Eve will never be the same for me. My hubby, the love of my life, my soul mate and favorite person...suffered a massive heart attack yesterday morning and was unable to be revived. I did CPR on him until the crew got here and they took over and continued in route to and at the emergency room and it was just too late.
Tim's body will be at: Oakey's North Chapel, 6732 Peters Creek Road, Roanoke, VA 24019.
If you are local, we will have visitation from 2:00-4:00 Thursday and again from 6:00 to 7:30.
At 7:30 after a brief prayer friends and family will have the opportunity to speak about how they knew Tim, tell a story or two, or just be there with us.
I'm holding it together for the most part (that's just what I do), but I have moments when I feel like my heart is just broken. Those moments are few, blessedly followed by gratitude for the swiftness of it all. We were absolutely crazy about each other and everyone knew that. For his obit, I submitted a cropped version of the picture from my last post, showing the two of us together.
Funerals are for the living and I want to send him out as enthusiastically as he lived while he was here.
Thanks for everything. I'll be back soon, I think.

Peachy darlin', I haven't stopped thinking and praying for you since we spoke yesterday. You did all that you could to help him. ♥
Tim may be gone but he's a part of you. So he is always near. ♥
He was our favorite patriot. He will be dearly missed. ♥
