Has anybody got an update on how Tim is getting on?  I haven’t tried to call him because he has many friends and I don’t want to bother him unduly.

I left a voicemail on his phone a few days ago, haven’t heard back but I don’t know if he pays attention to VM’s.

Thanks, Bill. Tim is a scrapper and I hope we’ll keep him in our prayers.

Will be praying for Tim and his family… he’s one of the first members to welcome me here and was very generous to help.  Just a genuine good guy… Ben

I’m glad to hear the update, as we all are!

Praying for his recovery, and looking forward to him responding soon!

May I suggest something to all of Tim’s friends,  that I’m going to do myself?

This may seem outmoded but it has some definite and unique benefits. 

Put away your phone or tablet and go to the store. Buy a Get Well Soon card.  Write Tim a note to tell him how you feel about him. Mail it to him. 

He will (hopefully) at some point be strong enough to read his mail, even if Geoff has to open it for him. 

It will cheer him up and remind him he is not alone and without friends. That is a very strong tonic. 

Some will think I shouldn’t mention it, but at my age death is neither a stranger nor terrifying:  If Tim  doesn’t get well, you will have eased his passing and done what a friend should do.
