It has been 13 years since God called you home and I felt my heart break into a billion tiny pieces . Sometimes it seems like it was just yesterday, but then again, it feels like a dream that I can never awaken. My love for you has never diminished.
You are and will always be alive in my heart. Although the broken pieces are mending, they still remain. The tears, they don't fall as often, but sometimes they do sneak out because my love for you has no where else to go.
You were and are my soul mate and best friend. Your protection has always been felt so I know that you and Delylah are watching over us together. You two try not to have too much fun without me. Until then, rest in peace, because I truly believe that one day we will all be back together again.


Your loving wife,
Judie

I will always miss you and think of you often. I still love and miss you. Eleven years now sometimes feels like an eternity and then at other times seems like it was just yesterday. The tears still fill my eyes and fall sometimes, but the wonderful memories dry them often. You exist still in my mind and (still) broken heart. I love you and I always will. I still feel you near. Rest well Tom Tom, rest well, until we meet again.
Love does last forever.

In memory of a life cut short, but created to love and was loved by me as he was a cousin by marriage, but also a dear friend, a one-of-a-kind person, that will always be remembered.

Judie, It is hard to believe that 3 years has come and gone since you said goodbye to your beloved Tommie. You have come so far in that amount of time and Tommie would definitely be proud of you. I don't know if I could have been as strong. My friend I think about you often and lift you in prayer even more. I know your heart is broken. Please know that I love you and will always keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
For you and Tommie
The moment that you died my heart was torn in two,

one side filled with heartache, the other died with you.

I often lie awake at night, when the world is fast asleep,

and take a walk down memory lane, with tears upon my cheeks.

Remembering you is easy, I do it everyday, but missing you is heartache that never goes away.

I hold you tightly within my heart and there you will remain.

Yvonne Collins

I am so sorry for your loss, Judie. No words can comfort you; losing the love of your life is something I cannot comphrehend, but know that I keep you in my prayers while you continue to grieve. Although I didn't know Tommie, I feel as if I did through all of the talks we had regarding your life with him. Know that although he is not here in the physical world, I am sure he still holds you close, just when you need him. Love and Blessings to you, my friend.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it's the memories of you that are the most precious.

I can still see your smile...

3 years,4 months,3 days. Once again, the holidays and birthdays have come and gone. Seconds turn into minute, minutes to hours, hours to days. I still cry, the days have turned into weeks and the weeks into months, I still cry. Months have turned into years and a multitude of tears, yet I still cry. I can smile a little more and occasionally laugh, but there's something still missing, You!

It's time again for the traditional Thanksgiving get togethers with family and friends. I've really enjoyed sharing these times with family. Good food and good times. Especially good games! Tommy, I'm trying not to win all the time, even though that's the way you taught me! lol I'm working on building other people up and losing gracefully, like you did for me. I'm starting to see the wisdom in it. I just haven't gotten the hang of it, cause I tend to win, even when I try to lose. :)

Love you much. Impressed more and more by you and Judie, and the wonderful woman that she is. Truly a blessing to know your love together. Love you both.

I send you strength and courage to continue to handle the onset of losing someone you dearly loved. I can only imagine how devastating it is for you because 2 years is still not a long time. Continue to memorialize your Husband and may you find peace in the coming years...

Forever My Love, I will never forget...

Love you, Judie

Another year has come and gone. Touching words, prayers and heartfelt poems from friends and family help me to make it through each day without you. Thank you, thank you friends and family.
It is still so hard to believe that you have been gone from me for 2 years and 4 days. It still seems like it was only yesterday. Still loving and missing you so much it hurts. Life is not the same without you.

Judie, I won't say that I understand what you are going through because there is no way that I could. I won't say that it will get easier as time goes by becuase I don't know if it will. I will say that Tommie Loved you with all of his heart. You were and are his world still. I know that his love gives you strength. I know that he is still walking beside you and holding your hand. You are stronger than you realize and Tommie is so very proud of you. You remain in my thoughts and prayers as you walk through this journey. Remember God will get you through this and you are not walking alone. Many many hugs and prayers. Debbie

Judie,
I kinda know how you feel =( I lost my mom so many years ago and till this day, I am still thinking of her ( I know mom is different from your other half) But she is my problem solver. After loosing her, I feel like I no longer have a listening ear and lost my helping hand. But the good thing is that I constantly remind myself that she is still around by my side, and all I need was to open my heart and feel her presence.
Peace be with you always!

hugs,

Judie, Sometimes it's hard to say the right words to the ones we love when they are near us. Today, I would like to leave a short message here in this Guest Book. I never liked to say "Good Bye", but for now, I prefer to say, "See you later, in a much better place... save me a place in line...". "Tommie, you will be missed."

My family and I have known Tommie for the past 19 years as the neighbors across the street. I saw him as a "Man of Excellence". His lawn was the envy of the neighborhood. His cars were alway immaculate. I will miss looking across the street and saying "Hey Tommie"...with him always smiling back with a cheerie greeting. The Mango Family thank God for having known him over the years. Deepest Sympathy --Elaine Mango & Family
