My thoughts and prayers are with the family

May 5, 2011

I have lots of memories of Tommy over the years. From the days I first became friends with Yvonne in the 4th grade, and would have slumber parties at her house, I remember watching "scary movies" (a Tidmarsh tradition), all us kids, Tommy included, under blankets on the couch. Of course float'in the river will always be synonymous with Tommy. You could always count on Tommy to be the first one down each year, scouting the route for the rest of us to come.
Perhaps he is doing the same now. Until we meet again. God Bless.

Thank you to all for your kind words and prayers. I will (am) miss (ing) him. Anyone who really knew Tom knew that he just wanted to live life and have fun, which he did. Hey! Who wants to float the river again?! We were the "originals", remember?! I know that, whenever I can, I will do that. Those were great times! Tom was always inventive and artistic. When we were camping one time we got bored, so guess what, Tom made dice out of wood with his pocket knife! That's what it's all about, enjoy life! Here's to you big bro, from your little sis. Love you! May you find peace. (*_*)

I am so very sorry to hear about Toms passing. I didnt know until tonight. I'm so sorry for your loss. Tom came to see me not long ago, it was fun talking about old times. He was like an older brother to me when I was growing up with your family. I have great memories of you all. My love to you. Tom's smiling face will remain in my memory for ever. Love to you Donna, Yvonne and Dawn.

To the Tidmarsh family:
I am so sorry to hear of Toms passing. Yvonne I see you almost every week and I had no idea. Please find comfort in knowing that he is with the Lord; and Dad, Grandpa, and Grandma Libby probably have a corner store in heaven. Donna, my prayers are with you on the loss of a good son.

My heart goes out to the Tidmarsh family on the loss of your brother and son. I grew up with Ronnie and Tommy on the Kelly Road.

To my brother Tom, I'm going to miss camping, hiking , and floating the river with you. You would always go with me, when no one else wanted to go. We would take that first trip together, down the river, to make sure we could guide the rest of the family down safely, pointing out the tricky spots. You did your part picking up the bottles and cans on our journey, loading them in your raft or cooler, as we floated down. You always said, "if you pack it in, pack it out". I pray you're at peace, and you hurt no more. No matter what, you were my brother, and I loved you. Your sister, Yvonne
