T.J. your beautiful spirit that touched my heart from the moment I met you continues to live on within my heart forever. There has never been a day that I have not thought of you. Your spirit touched every heart of anyone that had the privilege of knowing you. Today I honor you, your amazing parents and your beautiful brothers. Your spirit was so bright on this earth and continues on in so many ways through your family and all who love you. You help so many here and in the heavens. You live on every day and through your family the work they do in their love for you has spread throughout the universe to help so many others and to save so many and inspire others to always have hope. You are a gift of love and hope. I can see you riding the waves of bright shining lights that shine on top of the oceans like bright shining stars just where your spirit shines bigger and brighter and keeps shining in our hearts and lives. God bless the Sefcik family always and forever. With all my love, Elisa

Hi Mr. and Mrs. Sefcik, John and Matt,
I'm Theresa from a nearby town in New Jersey. All over Facebook, I hear about your son. I don't know him, and you will most likely never meet me, but I'd like to send my love to you and your family. There is no doubt he was a beautiful person. I've worn purple in his honor today, and will every December 1st from now on. He has influenced so many, many people from across the state, even country. He will be in my heart. May his soul rest in peace.
Love at most, Theresa

Dear Sefcik Family,
My deepest condolences on your unimaginable loss. I did not know TJ, nor do I know any of you. But the randomness of life had me come upon TJ's obituary in the Ledger that Saturday afternoon last December, and all of you have stayed on my mind ever since. That TJ was only 16...seeing his beaming picture...that you suggested parents give their children an extra hug...even something as small as that we had LBI in common -- all these things affected me and have stayed with me. One year later, I just wanted each of you to know that even total strangers remember, care and continue to mourn for TJ. I carry all of you in my thoughts and wish you nothing but peace and strength. TJ will never be forgotten.

Teej,
Words honestly can't describe how much we've all missed you over the past ten months. I never knew how much one life could affect an entire community but if there was anyone that could do it, it had to be you. I think of your warm smile and booming laugh every day when I wake up and I know you're here watching over all of us. You truly lit up every room you walked in to and it's still hard to imagine never being able to feel that exciting presence again . . . but if I know you at all you are most definitely the life of the party up there. Put in a good word for all of us down here. My deepest condolences to the Sefcik family whom I know to be the kindest, most compassionate people I have ever met. Take care of us, Angel, and I'll see you in my dreams <3

September 5, 2011
Rest in peace, Teej. I miss you so much. 9 months went by so fast without you. We love you and miss you. Rest easy and ride the big waves up there. See you in heaven, angel. I never even knew how beautiful the sky was until I looked up and saw you there. RIP

A child born with grace.
Charmed by life with a smile
that disarmed all his guardians.
His youthful energy, awesome!
Commandeering adventure
was paramount in his short life.
As our Godchild is called into heaven
the hand of the Lord will be upon him.
Holding a living message for
a shattered family left behind.
T.J.’s steadfast love is alive.
Still, it sparkles and will forever
shine on our human faces.

Wendy and family,
I may not have known t.j that well but he will always be in my heart. I will always remeber when you all came to my familys shore house. As I played with the boys,I said "T.J, I want to marry you." And from then and on we always called T.J the marrying one when ever we reffered to him.Rest in peace T.J. You guys will always be in my heart no matter what.

Dear Sefcik Family,
I didn't know TJ that long but for the few months that I did he treated me like he had known me for years. I honestly felt like I was one of his best friends. The first time I met TJ I was crying because me and my boyfriend had just broken up and TJ got up walked over to me and gave me a huge hug and told me not to let any guy ever make me feel that way. He told me that if I needed a shoulder to cry on I could come to him. He was an amazing, remarkable kid. I will never forget all of the good times we had together the couple of months that I knew him. TJ and his family will be in my thoughts and prayers every single day. Rest In Peace Teej <3 Love you and miss you always and forever angel.

Dear Sefcik Family,
I am also another mom who saw your son's picture and went on to read the sad news of T.J.'s passing. Since then I have been unable to stop thinking of you and praying God will give you the strength you will need to get through this terrible time. I have no way of knowing the pain you feel, but please know you are not alone. My son will be 17 on Saturday and I have been fulfilling your requests for hugs every day. With each hug, I say a prayer for your son. May God bless you all.

I went to school with TJ and everyday I passed him in the hallways. He was always laughing and talking with his friends and always had a smile on. I will never forget the air that surrounded the school after the news of your loss was spread. The crying friends, students, and teachers along with the writing on the walls were everywhere. I don't think I have ever cried so much in school before. TJ will forever be in our hearts <3

I was searching for my Uncles' Obituary and came accross your sons. I read it because I hate to see anyone so young pass away. When I got to the end and your request was to hug my child I teared up and I will honor your request and I will not pretend to know what you are going through. God Bless you and your family.

Dear Wendy and Steve,
I don't know if you remember me, but we were neighbors in Essex Fells--I was in the stucco house at the top of Park Lane. When I read about your son I was, of course, horrified. I can't begin to imagine your pain, but want you to know that you and your family are in my prayers. I wish we had kept in touch so that I would have known T.J. and what a beautiful young man he was. Please accept my sincere sympathy.

To the Sefcik family:
I feel compelled to write this note. I watched your son amongst so many others for years at the Stathis home and my daughters, Micah and Milan, often mentioned "TJ." I have watched the young faces; Jesse, Jake, Amanda and Selina so wrapped in sorrow for their friend. Your son was some kind of special. I ache for your lost. I lost two brothers so I am heartbroken for your two other sons. I admire the courage and strength you showed to all as you comforted the entire community of Montville and Towaco last Sunday at TJ's memorial. You are a special family and now an angel got his wings to look over you. If ever I could be of any help, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Sincerely,

TJ you will be greatly missed but I know you are there looking down on us with that contagious smile.
Wendy, Steve, John and Matt,
My heart goes out to you at this time of need. TJ was a wonderful boy and he has you to thank for that. I will miss seeing his face riding past me down the shore and he always took the time to stop and say hello. He would walk by me in Lazar and give me a high five no matter how many times he passed throughout the day. He had that smile the could brighten your worst days and I thank him for that. Your service celebrating his live yesterday was absolutely beautiful and his essence was captured by everyone who spoke. He will be greatly missed and he will forever hold a place near to my heart. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers at this time and you always will be.
May you rest in peace TJ!!

Thank you Steve, Wendy, John, and Matt for being so kind as to share TJ's life with the community yesterday. Your eloquence in speaking of your beautiful son/brother showed how much you loved and knew him. I knew him when he was a little guy ... remembering you guys coming to the Red Barn ... in your red wagon on Saturdays to give "mommy" a break. Looked like TJ grew up to be an amazing young man. I know where ever he is now he is probably still being amazing. When I think of him I see the little tow-head boy sitting with his dad and brothers ... quietly, happily eating his doughnut ... I pray for you all to have the strength you need during this very difficult time. Take care of yourselves and God bless you. <3 Michele
