I remember you always brought a football to the family gatherings to throw around with me and the cousins. And you had a cool red car and wore square toes boots every time! You are greatly missed! Love you Uncle TJ!

Tom, you may be gone, and will be sorely missed, but the memories of you will be with me forever. Thanks for being a fantastic roommate and for all the great times we had. You always had a smile on your face and kept your positive attitude even when you knew the end was near.
