This seems so surreal. Still can't believe it's true. Wish we could have spent more time together. But, we'll spend an eternity together someday! Miss you, Tim. Love you, LaDonna!!

Tim, It seems like only a few weeks ago that we met at that 1985 Christian Business Show, even shorter since I worked you so hard to win your State House seat. It's finally soaking in that you are really gone and my heart is breaking with sadness. I could write a million words saying nice things about you but your other friends and your family already know your wonderful strengths, loving ways, seemingly unlimited energy, and your incredible intellect. I'm sure you are already in Heaven organizing a precinct or district. If there is a way, send me a message letting me know that there is some form of politics there, where the good guys always win. I will miss you but I will always remember your strengths and your friendship. God bless your family! They have lost their life-mate and Dad. America and Oklahoma have lost a true patriot and I have lost a dear friend. Senator Mike Fair (ret)

Tim, I wish you could tell me what Heaven is like. I feel like I am still in shock. Although I didnt know you that many years, you were like a brother to me in some really rough times. I will never forget you, my friend. LaDonna, girls...you were blessed, as was he, to have you precious ones as his family. I could probably go on ad on, but I just want to say, he will be greatly missed, and I am here for you anytime you need me. Sending much love and prayers your way, always.

Our deepest sympathy during this time of grief. I always enjoyed conversing with Tim. Since he was working in Edmond, I got to see him more when he would come by our offices on calls. He will be missed.

Dear La Donna and girls, Tim was always a bright spot in my life when I saw him and think about him today. He had such a wonderful smile and up lifting personality. He will be missed. I have been out of town for the past week and did not know of Tim's passing until after the funeral, but would have been there! My prayers are with you all. Jim Muse
