Dear Friends --
There is no implied verb here.
We can think of this salutation almost as the opening lines of a memorandum, the 'from', 'to', and 'subject' being expressed by the grammatically declined names of the author and recipient, ktl.
This is a very common epistolary style, and there is no theological content in this format, other than St Paul's descriptions of himself and in relation to St Timothy.
Peace and blessings to all.
