I still can't believe that you're gone. 15 years and it doesn't get any easier. You would be so proud of your grandkids. I hope you are watching over them as you would if you were here. Your granddaughter proudly has 1 large tattoo for people to see and it's to honor you, her one and only Poppy. We miss you so much.

My dear"Bare", you and I shared so much, you were my first friend I went to when I needed advice. We laughed and cried online. I miss you, I miss your smile, I miss your wit. To the family and friends, my sympathy. I will never forget you. I'll be expecting a "bare" hug when I get there!!!!

Beth Webster

October 30, 2007

To my second family, I am so sorry that your dad has left you at such an early age. I know how much you all miss him, and what a special place he had in your heart. He was a talented musician, who we got to enjoy at Palmyra Cananltown Days, and Faith enjoyed dancing with him, this is what she remembers most. Just please remember he is always watching over you, he is your gardian angel. He will wait until the day comes when you will be together once again. Please remember all the good times, and cherish the time you had together. He may have left us sooner than we wanted but he must have a bigger adventure in heaven. Please remember I am always here for you, if you need anything don't hesitate to ask. We love you all! Beth, Rob and Faith

Those who miss him the most

Janet,Joshua & Family:
We were "stunned' to read of your Father passing on so sudden! It has been many years since we have seen him but he always had a smile big as the sun on his face and loved working with children in the community when we lived up there! He also bragged on his two children whenever he could! He was always so proud of your accomplishments in life! You can truly KNOW that your father's life "made a differance" in other people's lifes! I am SURE he will missed by all!

Janet Hunt-Webster

October 22, 2007

Josh, Sydney, and myself are very thankful for everyone who was a part of my father's life. May his memory last forever in our hearts and spirits. Please view the photo album to see a recent picture of the way we should all remember him.

Uncle Tom,
You have made us laugh for so long, and now you make us cry. I have no option but to remember the good times, because with you, there was no bad. You alone have shown that your love expands beyond being in person, but that you had a gift to do that through your words as well. I promise to bring laughter, humor, and joy to this family as you always did. Janet and Josh, stay strong and rely on your family for support. Thats what were here for.

You left me so sudden…I was so unprepared
Sad mad and lost…I feel it’s not fair.
I hope you are listening now…I’m reaching out to you.
I feel so empty inside now…to me you were huge.
A huge heart, a huge smile, I felt your love from day one.
Of all that I have why’d he make you the one.
It’s only been days dad…it feels like forever.
I’m racking my brain Tom…to make this more clever.
For my golf partner…I think you’ll best understand
I’m in the deep rough now…oops, now in the sand
My third in the water…I’m taking my drop
I need you so much now…stick this in for me pop.
And just so you know now…how much I do care
I shed tears for every second that you and I shared.

Josh,
your dad was such a gentle soul. His easy going way and smiling face made it easy to be his friend.--I'm sure you know this , but your Dad was so proud of you. When you weren't playing with us, he would talk about you and Janet with great pride.--You and your Dad shared a special relationship-you were best friends and that was so neat.--I am so sorry he is gone, but so happy to have been his friend.

My brother talked alot about his cyber friends alot and how much he enjoyed chatting with you all. I am so pleased to see so many of you signing this guest book and even though you may have never met him in person, you could tell what a great person that he was. We all appreciate your kind and thoughtful words and that will help us to get through the hard times. May God bless everyone that has taken the time to write the family a note. His big LIL SIS

You made all our lives so much richer.

To each and everyone of you who were so kind to take the time to write, our thankful prayers and appreciation to you all. This has been a very difficult week/year for us, and just knowing that our son/brother/father touched so many lives makes us all feel so blessed and honored. He brought love, life & laughter to all of us here, and we are blessed that you too were able to share in his bountiful harvest.
Its not feeling too real to any of us just yet, but we appreciate your thoughts and prayers which will indeed sustain us and carry us through the rest of this week and beyond. Life with our Tommy Boy has made each and every one of us a little richer-not just in knowing him, but in having him touch all of our lives in so many special ways. We will no doubt miss our music man. Thank you all for sharing in his life, for in so doing-you all made him richer then he ever truly realized he was.(I am thinking down deep-he must of known just how much he was truly loved-for your letters are all evidence of that love, and you could never deny something that rich and that real).
Our Mom, who lives here with us, will be sure to get a copy of each message so that she too can read these. She will be truly thankful to hear that others witnessed what she always knew to be true from day one with her little boy. He is truly loved!!!

Death Of A Friend

The loss is great
The hurt severe.
Emptiness never ending,
Memories dear.

For reasons not understood
A friend is not there.
No longer around
Our wishes and dreams to share.

Together, so often,
Without any questions.
We laughed, we cried.
No need for explanations.

Perhaps, had we known
The way things were to be,
We would have expressed our feelings;
Been more open and free.

How often do we say the things
On our mind and our heart
We should share our gratitude
And love before we are apart.

Now, all we can do is hope
Somehow our friend knows
The sorrow and pain we feel,
And how we miss them so.

The loss is great,
The hurt severe,
Emptiness never ending,
Memories dear.

)))) Bare Huggs ((((... a hug from the inside out..

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
