Tim, Everytime I see your Nana & Grumper I see the pride in their eyes and yet the sorrow of loosing their young grandson. Last year on Memorial Day Jerry and all the other members of GHC honored you for giving your all but this year he's joined you because of Vietnam's Agent Orange. I want to thank you and Jerry for giving their all so we can enjoy all the freedoms you and he gave, to give us all the wonderful freedoms of the United States of America. God Bless America. Love your friend Dottie

Timmy, I'm stopping by to say hello. You know I have your picture out where I can see it every day and I whisper "hi" and "sup" to you now and again. But, today, is special because it is the 4th anniversary of your death. You have remained strong throughout these years fueled by the power of love. My thoughts turn to those left behind: your Dad Mike, Tommy and Jackie, Mom Patty, and Grandmother Barbara. All strong individuals with a great capacity to have fun and to love. I send you my love.

January 14, 2012

Dear Timmy my loving son, today is my 57th Birthday, hard for me even to believe, I spent it with you, as I know you were with me all day as you always are with me. The last birthday we were together here on Earth was my 49th birthday, Jan 13, 2004 I rememember it well, you know I hate celebrating my birthday, and you brought me a beautiful dozen red roses to my work at Tahoe Family Physicians, you tried to sneak them in, thinking I was at lunch, I remember it like yesterday, I was up front in the office and you and Kim brought them, they were so beautiful, you got them from a florest and you wanted to bring them to my work with your hand written card, thinking I was at lunch, then I saw you, "Timmy" I said and you ran down to my lab at TFP and tried to escape so I would be surprised, after you left I walked back to my office to see this beautiful dozen red roses so gorgeous, I know you spent your whole check on. You were so Proud and I was so surprised and so Proud and Happy, but didn'[t want you spending all that money, You were so excited to do it and sneak it into my work for a surprise for me, tht was my last Birthday with you, I was 49 it was Jan 13, 2004 right before you went into the U.S. Army, we spent my birthday together with some friends and had pizza, those days you stayed close to home and was living at home, because you were due to go to bootcamp the end of March, and the Mother's Day came next and that would be the first Mother's Day you were not home, as every mother's day Timmy and Tommy and Jackie would make me breakfast in bed, I did get your letter, from bootcamp telling me "Mom I wish I could be home to make you breakfast in bed, I hope Tommy and Jackie are but if I tried to come I would be A.W.O.L. I love you baby and miss you so much, I always Remember you In My Prayers 2 Timothy 1:3. Love Mom Always in My Heart. Jackie brougt me flowers and a card and Tommy brought me flowers and a cared and Janice gave me a angel globe, I love my Angels and Stars and Eagles. I am so Blessed, I am so lucky to have the most loving children in this world. Tommy and Jackie miss and love you so much baby, and we carry you in Our Hearts eveyday. Love Mom xoxoxoxo

I made you a Strawberry short cake just for you. I put the red white and blue lights on your tree at our house, will get the other's on the house today and they will stay up forever in Honor of you, so you can see your home from Heaven.

I hope you are happy in Heaven, I will be with you again up there one day, but for now I have Tommy and Jackie to live for and can't wait for Jackie to get a ring too. You are always in my heart my son and always right next to me, I Love You So Much and am Missing you like crazy. Love Mom oxooxoxoxooxox

Happy Easter my Beloved son Timmy, I love you so much and miss you every second of the day. These holidays are always so hard, remembering all the easters I would have your baskets lined up for when you woke up and going to Easter Egg hunts, usally it was snowing or raining, but you guys didn't care. And hiding the eggs in the house, remember one time we found a colored hard boiled egg about 6 month's after, you guys missed, we laughted so hard, knew there was one missing and I didn't remember where I had hidden it, was in a plant I think that was hanging. I remember the last Easter you were here, I remember seeing the engagement ring on Shayna's finger. I am so blessed to have such a beautiful loving son and blessed to have another beautiful son Tommy and beautiful daughter Jackie, I am so proud of all 3 of my children, they are loving and caring and are my whole life, Timmy you will always be with me and always in my heart, and we will be together again, I know you will be there waiting for me, for now I must be here for your brother and sister, who miss and love you so much.

Dear Timmy my beloved son, it has been 3 years since I have heard your beautiful laugh and your bright brown eyes and your beautiful eye brows, that I loved, but you didn't, I miss everything all of you. I have been dreaming of you and I know you have come to me in my dreams, beause I do believe!! and I have been having more and it helps me so much, when I wake up I want to go back to sleep so I can be with you. You are missed and loved so much, I don't know if you remember Howie Nave, he is on the radio and he talked about you all day and all of our Soldier's that are Serving and our Soldier' that have served, he made it National Military day in Honor of you Timmy. I am so proud of you and know you are proud of yourself, which even makes me more proud and happy for you, as you worked so hard to become such a Great Person and a Great Soldier, and always was there for anyone who needed you, and I know you helped out some of your buddies, because they listened to you, Timmy you had and have such a genuine personality and kind Heart, and everyone trusted you because you are Strong and knew what you wanted to do and what you had to do, yet you could make a friend that was so down and bummed turn him around just by walking in and some how your auroa or your being just made people so happy and laugh, and that they needed over there. You did the same evern before you went in the Army, you were always the one helping the underdog or a person who was being picked on, and stood up for them. And then have them happy like nothing was wrong. I am so PROUD to be your mom Timmy and I am so PROUD of you and all the Brothers and Sisters in Arms you saved and all children and inocent families over there, you should feel very good about youself my son, I love you so much baby boy and miss you with all my heart, but "God Only picks the most Beautiful Flowers and you were picked" I will dream of you again tonight, you have been in my dreams so much lately, I know you want me to know you are ok and I can go on with my life, and I am trying but my life has changed and I will never be the same person I was, not that I will be mean or anything, but when you lose one of your children, that is the A"Worst" thing in the world, even though you are in Heaven and probably so much happier than all of us, I love my Tommy and Jackie, they are my whole life, just as you are too still, but I would of never made it through all this without them, and Tommy and Jackie miss and love you so much. Be at peace my love, and never forget me, I will never forget you Timmy, you are on my mind every single min. of the day. Sleep tight my love, and I will see you tomorrow. I love you my loving son, love mom xoxoxox

Not a day goes by that we do not think of you, Timmy. Veterans Day was especially hard. Brian had the bartender give him two shots of Jack...with a tear in his eye, he toasted you,...the remaining shot was for you and remained on the bar. Oh how we wanted you to be there to hear Brian and I brag about what an incredible person you were (and still are) to us and so many. Always and Forever in our hearts, Timmy. Until we see your smile again..we love you.

There was a very honoring Ceremony at our American Legion where you were remembered and honored for your service and your sacrafice, so many people love and miss you and are so very proud to have been your friend, you are "OUR HERO" and you have always been my "HERO" since the day you were born, you taught me how to be a good mother and I treasure every memory and hold it in my heart forever. God only picks the most beautiful flower's and you my son were the most beautiful he chose. One day we will be together again, I know you will be waiting at the pearly gate for me and will take my hand, but for now I need to be here with my loving Tommy and my loving Jackie, as if it weren't for them I would already be with you. I will see you tonight your star that is always so bright up in the sky shining in the same spot for the 2 1/2 yr 1 mo and 1 week to let me know you are watching over me and all the one's you love so dearly. I love you and miss you so much my son Timmy and I am so proud to be your mom, God Bless you my son. Love Mom xoxoxox

I wish heaven had a phone so I could hear your voice again. Thought of you today, but that is nothing new, I thought about you yesterday & days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, from which I'll never part!

Everytime I look at your face here, your eyes gazing right at me, it takes my breath away. Hearing your Dad's voice on the phone, choked with fear and grief, to tell us the news of your loss that morning two years ago today (on the 11th anniversary of your Grampie Warren (Smith)'s passing), and all that followed in those surreal events of the days, weeks and months after, is as fresh as the sunrise today.

It's impossible to even describe the combination of unbearable grief and soaring pride we all felt as we gathered together with family and beloved friends to honor you. And ever shall it be thus.

But my memories of you and our special times together, our hugs and words and secrets shared, our laughter and teasing, your strength and sweet vulnerability, your pain and joy, your sense of honor and of devilment and adventure, the boy you were and the man you became and the dreams and plans you had, will remain in my heart forever. While I still cannot quite believe you no longer walk among us, sharing our lives, I know you are just away: Climbing over that hill, sitting hidden high up in that tree, hiding behind that cloud, smiling in that rainbow, touching our cheek with a rain drop, twinkling in that star I had named for you, watching over and waiting for the rest of us to join you and Uncle Ric and all the others when our times come, wanting us in the meantime to live well and to the fullest - with laughter and joy in honor and respect of your memory, especially that.

God bless and keep you in His embrace, my Munchkin. Your Nana misses and loves you and is so grateful for the time we had, too short though it was, and Grumper too.

Hi honey Happy New Year! I know you are always with me, I felt you with me all day yesterday, I worked a Banquet and when I got home at 2:00 AM you were still up there in the clear black sky waiting for me, for our special time together. I love you so much and miss you every single day. I know when I come home at night you are here!
One of your brother's in Arms and his mother came up to visit us last Wed night, Joe Quiarte and his mom Debbie, he had some great stories to tell us, and he thinks so highly of you and misses you very much, he gave me another black bracelet, like the one I had made, but with all your unit information, it was the best Christmas present I got, to finally have one of your brother's come visit. I love you so much my son and one day we will be together again, for now I know you are with me in my heart and spirit everyday, see you tonight my sweet pea! Your brother and sister take good care of me, I know you know this and know you are proud of them, as we are so proud of you, but would rather have you here, I am so proud to be your Mom.
I love you, Mom xooxoxoxxooox

November 13, 2009

Good Morning Son, I still miss you every day.And I imagine that will never go away. So many people sent me e-mails and phone calls on Veterans Day there are too many to list.Jackie and I were in constant contact all day sending pictures and videos back and forth.Not a good day for either of us. As she said it's like some kind of celebration of you dying, we both know it's not but it's just so hard. She has been really having a hard time.And I try to be there for her. Tommy and I talk every couple of days,He too has a really hard time even talking about you with out breaking up still.Your friend Michelle Garcia and I exchange E-mails and such. It's nice to have contact with an Army friend of yours. She talks very highly of you and it's so nice to hear.I have a wall with all your medals displayed and your Pictures and accommodations and Letters from all the dignitaries.I say goodnight to you there every night and good morning every morning.I love you and miss you son you will never be out of my thoughts and prayers. With all my love Dad

Hi Smitty!
I was reminiscing about the past times we had yesterday and couldnt help but laugh and smile. You always knew how to make everyone laugh and left the best memories for everyone.
It's still hard to believe that you're not here with us anymore but you're still thought of everyday! I'm so proud of you and you will forever be my hero.

Everyone misses you and loves you!

Hello my loving son, and Happy Belated 27th Birthday, we miss and love you so much and always will.
Jackie and I just got back from Washington DC for a Ceremony honoring you and all the other 5,000 or more Fallen Heroes, it was very emotional yet very Honorable. I finally met Joe's mom, Elaine Richard and Joe Sr. and his sister and her husband, it was so good to finally be able to give them a hug, and feel you both with us.
I love you so much my loving son and think of you every second of the day.
I will add some pictures just as soon as I get them uploaded into the computer, as we just got home yesterday. So many Military and wonderful people were at the ceremony to thank you all for your "Ultimate Sacrafice", yet only those who have lost a loved one can ever relate.
I am so proud to be your mother, and honor you so much, you are the most amazing human being I know, and I am proud to say you are my loving son.
God Bless you my sweet, caring and loving son. I will see you up in the sky tonight for our special time together.
Love,
Mom xoxooxxooox

Just got on here when I saw there was a new message. I didn't know the page was still available. I want to add my voice to Dad's and wish you Happy 27th Birthday, too, Tim Hon. I put fall decorations at the family spot in Pine Grove in Westborough along with a new photo of you in the display in honor of your birthday. On special days and anniversaries I try to make you as much a part of the town and family there as I can because both will always be a part of you, a part I know you treasured. I was going to plant a shrub but, because it's wide open there with no wind screen and winter is coming, I was advised to do it in the spring instead. So I will, on April 7.
We had a party last Saturday at Rick and Bri and Kal's for Tom's birthday - it was supposed to be a surprise but of course he found out! - and we had a wonderful time with family and friends and you would have loved it. Then on Monday, the day after your birthday on Sunday and the race, we had a lovely family dinner on Grove Street before Dad and Tom left. Brian was with us for the weekend too and that was nice but we missed Jackie a lot, too. It was a great family weekend, in your honor, celebrating your LIFE and being together as you loved to be.
We miss you, Munchkin, but then we always do and will and we hope you know we try to honor you - and Uncle Ric - in the ways we hope you would want, and especially with the laughter you both gave us all so much of, those wonderful laughs you both shared and we all miss so much.
Carry on, my little soldier; my hero; my "GI JOE;" watch over us and give your Uncle Ric a hug from his Mom.....we all love you both so very very much and you are with us always, in our hearts, minds, thoughts, our very souls, our memories and our prayers.
Happy birthday and all my love,
Your Nana and "Grumper" too
