Timothy
Timothy, the son of Timothy and Angela, was born on March 24, 2003 and died March 8, 2006. After 25 months of testing, he was diagnosed with Tay- Sachs disease. He was the 14th person in the nation diagnosed with Tay-Sachs that year. (Each year, approximately 100 people are diagnosed with the disease.) “Timothy has filled our hearts with such joy and amazing strength,” say his parents. “We pride ourselves on being his parents, and through the pictures that were taken, you can see what an amazing little boy Timothy is. He touches the hearts of so many. Timothy used to laugh and smile at everything, including strange noises such as the crinkling of paper or plastic bags. Today we miss his laughter. Every now and then he will give us a smile.” Web sites with information on Timothy’s condition include www.timothycarterjr.com and www.ntsad.org.
