Memories & Condolences

My heartfelt condolences for your loss. May the God of all comfort and tender mercies help you and your family to cope during this difficult time. God’s word has a beautiful future ahead not only for us but for those whom we lost in death. This promise is found in Isaiah 25:8,9

I would like to send these words of consolation to those this loved this person. The apostle Paul said what has been made possible by Jesus’ resurrection. “Since death is through a man,” said Paul, “resurrection of the dead is also through a man.” Because of the sin and imperfection passed on to us from Adam, we all die. However, by giving his perfect human life as a ransom, Jesus opened the way for mankind to be released from slavery to sin and death through the resurrection. Summing up the matter nicely, Paul wrote at Romans 6:23: “The wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord.” Love...

Tim Summerfield was my father, though I never knew him.

I always wanted to know him. All that I have is his name on my birth certificate from 1970, some old photos from mutual friends of my mother's and his, and one family film from 1969 of him with my mom at a family reunion. I was told that his mother, a grandmother whom I never met, did come to see me briefly at Memorial Hospital when I was born.

I was not expecting to, nor do I know what to do with, this grief that I have. Grief for so many things, and so many questions. I look at my own beautiful daughter, now nine years old, his granddaughter, and I am completely at a loss as to how he and an entire family, can deny an innocent child and never wonder or care of what became of her. It was a different time then, and I do not assume to know anything about the circumstance of those decisions, I only know the ramifications of them.

I wanted so badly to share with my dad that I grew up, went to college, traveled to interesting places and built a wonderful life, career, and family here in New Mexico - that I look more like him than my mom - that, according to others who knew him, I act like him, and share many of his mannerisms, independent spirit, eccentricities and zest for life.

I wanted to tell him that I was worthy of and receptive to his love, and that even if he didn't know me or want to have anything to do with raising me, I always loved and honored him and became a person he could be proud of.

I wanted to tell him that I wasn't a mistake. That fathering me was a good thing and that I make a positive difference everyday in the world.

I hope he is at peace and I wish upon wish that we had been able to meet.
