Tommy,
There are no words to describe the hurt that I feel for you and your family. I can't believe that you are gone. I wish that you could have seen all of the lives that you touched before you left us. I guess I should have said this sooner, but, Thank You! Thank you for giving me the gift of your friendship for the short time you shared with us. I will keep the light of your smile alive in my heart forever.
Rest in peace Tom!<3

Puma,
I can't believe your gone its crazy! Just the other day I saw you and you looked so happy. Well, I just wanted to let you know that I love you so much, you were like my other uncle. I remember when I told you that you remind me of the turtle from finding nemo & hey you always will. Ooh yeah don't worry I won't wear the cat woman costume for halloween because you didn't want me to. =] One more thing I'm still going to get the same lip ring as you when I'm 18. Well, I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART!!! I hope you found peace.
Love Always,
Janese

Tommy,
I can't believe that you are really gone. You were such a special person to me and my whole family. Everytime I saw you, you put a smile on my face. You had such a big heart and so many people were touched by it. Thanksgiving at my mom's house will never be the same without you. We all thought of you as a member of our family and you will be deeply missed. My condolences to your family and all that cared for you.

Love,
Jessica
