I have never been able to find the right words to put on this page, but as the months go by I find a hole in my heart that will never be filled.I miss you more and more each day. Christmas this year will be hard without you as was thanksgiving, but we'll make it we always do. I've found amazing comfort and support through a Vietnam veterans group I found on Facebook, they talk to me tell me things I could never imagine. and like you told me to I help as much as I can in the ways I know you would. I love you and will always miss you.

A brother-in-law beyond compare. A man who took on responsibilities that truly belonged to others. A friend who spoke the truth. Someone I miss much more than I ever thought I could. Enjoy Lennon, Harrison, Orbison and Holly. That's one heck of a choir. I love you Thomas and I miss you so very much.
