I grew up just 4 houses down from the Timmermans and Mrs. Timmerman was like my 2nd mother for many years and into early adulthood. She is one of the kindest people I´ve ever met and she made the absolute best taco salad! I know she adored her family and especially her grandchildren. I will always be grateful for knowing her and I am praying for her family. May she rest in eternal peace.
