Sad News

[KelliODonnell]

Hello Everyone.
I am sorry to share some very sad news with you. Our good friend and fellow r family team member, Tim Albrecht, has died. It was a sudden and surprising death; however, they say that he passed in his sleep in peace. Tim was a tremendously talented, kind and loving man. His presense will be with us for years to come and for each smile we share on our next trips, I want to believe that he is sharing them too.

I find that this is a difficult reminder that each moment is precious. Take extra time with the ones you love. Mend those relationships that are in jeopardy. Because life is fragile.

Happy holidays to all of you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Tim's family and friends, R Family, and to everyone who was touched by him!!

No matter what people believe, we do need to be thankful for each day, for those we love, and never have any regrets!!

Peace to all! Kristi

To his family and friends I offer my deepest condolences. This time of year is especially a difficult time to grieve..I hope everyone close to Tim is able to give one another what he represented...gentleness and love.
Peace to all of you

Our sympathy and prayers to all who knew Tim and loved him. Every day is a precious gift to be cherished and times such as this allow us to embrace that truth more fully. Kelli, do you think you could post a pic for those of us who probably know Tim by face from the last cruises but who can't put a name and face together. There are several team members who shared different parts of the cruises and events with us all whose names aren't in the forefront as much as you, Gregg and Colleen whom we interact with thru booking etc. Many of us may have special stories about our interactions with Tim that we could share here.

Peace, hugs and lots of love ~ be gentle with yourselves and those you love. Live as best you can so there are no regrets for what you did or did not do.

To Tim's family and friends.
My deepest sympathy goes out to you. I will always remember Tim as someone with a smile on his face and something nice to say. Kelli I agree we are on borrowed time and should cherish each moment and memory.

To Kelli, R Family, The Albrecht family and Tim Albrecht’s friends, I extend my sympathy, empathy and condolences.

DEATH be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not so,
For, those, whom thou think'st, thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleepe, which but thy pictures bee,
Much pleasure, then from thee, much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee doe goe,
Rest of their bones, and soules deliverie.
Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poyson, warre, and sicknesse dwell,
And poppie, or charmes can make us sleepe as well,
And better then thy stroake; why swell'st thou then;
One short sleepe past, wee wake eternally,
And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die.
--- John Donne

My most sincere symapthy to those who knew and loved Tim.

[JoyandJeanne]

I'm so sorry for all of the people who will miss him. How sad to lose such a young guy...

My condolences to Tim's family and friends. I keep wanting to type more but can't think of what more to type.

And thank you for this sage advice, Kelli. Life IS fragile. If it's OK, I'd like to add to your "Take extra time..." sentence with - "especially when you have many, many other things to do, just stop for a second and look into a loved one's eyes like that person is the greatest gift. Then, when you're sucked back into the rat race, it won't seem so much like it's filled with rats or that you have to run quite so fast because of that warm, full feeling of having shared an awesome moment.".

My name is Laurie and I am Tim's cousin. I have such fond memories of him as we were growing up in Great Falls, MT. My sister and I couldn't wait to go over to Tim's house ;) to play with him. He was creative even back then and had the best games to play. I am sure at times we may have annoyed him. ;) He truly was a beautiful and genuine person. I loved to visit with him to hear all about all the exciting things he was up to. He was a breath of fresh air and always brightened up the room. He has touched so many lives. It is so nice to see that so many others cared about him. He will truly be missed.

He was a wonderful friend, cousin, uncle, son...Thank you for this life that showed so much love. He should stand as an example to have fun, enjoy life and dream big! May God bless at this time of loss.

I am so sorry to hear about Tim. The Rfamily team has been so wonderful on both the cruises. Tim was my age. I wish I had known him better but he looks like he was such a nice guy. My condolences go out to his family and friends and to all of you at Rfamily.

Dear R Family,

We send our condolences to Tim's Family and also his extened Family there a R Family. He sounds like he was an Angel, so our wishes are: may he sore with the best and watch and keep for over us all until the time comes when we are called home. Just remember the Good things that Tim did to touch the lives of so many with his time on earth. It's sounds like he was a Joy and a inspiration to be around or to know.


To his Family: Think of it this way during your time of sorrow and grief while you are mourning the loss of your son, brother, uncle or friend. Tim may be gone but, he lives on 4ever in your hearts and souls. He will still be there to talk to and he will be there to watch over you, it may not be in person, but it will be in spirit.

Like Kelly said, this is a time to reflect on our own personnal lives, because we don't know when the good Lord is going to call us home. it's time to mend the fences that need mending and bridges that need crossing in our lives.


Tonight please say a extra prayer for Tim and his Family, as well as your family and loved ones.

Take care and again we send our deepest regards for the Loss of on the R Family Team members and also to his Family.

To the family and friends of Tim

Perhaps I am more or less of a stranger to you. But in sorrow and tragedy, there are no strangers, and so I am reaching out my hand to you in deep and understanding sympathy.

I know the heart-hurt, the loss and loneliness you are experiencing, but after the first, stabbing anguish of grief has been softened by time, you will find great comfort in knowing that our loved ones are safe and free from all tears, trials, troubles and temptations from now on they are where nothing can ever hurt them again.

Parting from our loved ones is something that we cannot escape, and death is just as it should be, we are and then we are not. It is like the blowing out of a candle or the closing of a door. We go to sleep so that we may awaken in the morning, and if we did not sleep, we could never know the joy of awakening. And if we did not die, we could never live eternally.

Always remember that our loved ones just go beyond the sight of our vision and the touch of our hands, and they are waiting for us on the other side of death, where time is not counted by years and there are no separations.

I have always felt, at times like this, there is so little anyone can say, for there are no words that have ever been invented to fit the loss of a loved one. But in death we find that we are drawn closer to one another and to God. And Heaven seems a little Nearer, God's Promise a little Clearer, and His Love a little Dearer.

We give our loved ones back to God. And just as He first gave them to us and did not lose them in the giving, so we have not lost them in returning them to Him. For Life is Eternal, Love is Immortal, Death is only a Horizon, and a Horizon is nothing but the limit of our earthly sight.

In this letter I am trying to say that, in the Kingdom of The Lord, There Is Nothing That Last Forever, for if we believe God's Promise and never doubt His Goodness, we will meet all those who have left us... to be together in the Kingdom of Forever!

Lovingly and Prayerfully;


I did not write the letter But right now can't find the name of the author of this so for now the author is unknown. This letter is so fitting to everyone who has lost someone special to them. Peace!

[Laura]

Emma and I send thoughts and prayers to Tim and his family and friends. We remember Tim from the cruises we took. It is a time to reflect on all we have and hold close to us.

So sad to hear about Tim. I only spoke with him once but that's all it took to see what a kind loving person he was. We recognized him right away on the View. I said to Pat "he's from the cruise, he's a sweetheart." It made us happy to see him. He brightened up the ship. I'm sure wherever he is now there is a light shining.
love and peace
