I hope that you will take comfort knowing that Thomas is in a better place and that you will be with him again one day. God knows your pain and will help you through this very hard time. I will pray for you and your family every day. You are constantly in my thoughts. Please don't ever hesitate to call or stop by, anytime day or night, if there is ever anything at all that you need. I am here for you, dear friend. With much love and sympathy, Wendi Fuksa

This is for the hardman family, As I knew your son to well, and then i moved away.. it made me cry for 16 hours straight to hear the loss of tommy.. this is for you but i did not write it:
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Thomas,
I never got to meet you, but I am your cousin. I am sorry that I wasn't there for you. I am sorry that I never had the pleasure of being in your company.
Under these tragic circumstances, I want to remind the immediate family that you will make it through this and I am only a phone call away if you need me.
You are all in my hearts.
With love always,

A dark cloud loomed over Northwest Middle last Thursday as we learned the sad news. I was Thomas' art teacher, and I remember his smiling face and lively sense of humor. He was a gentle soul. My heart goes out to the Hardman family and you are in the thoughts and prayers of many, including myself.

Thomas, I remember the first time we met, we were sitting at the lunch table where your brother and I had sat the prior year.
You and I did not get along. I called you the "eight-year-old" because you were actually shorter then me, and you were so youthful.
Overtime, you and I became extremely close. We would walk in the halls, talk all the time, and we had so much fun, even when there was nothing to say, we still had fun.
I remember the time when you asked me out, it was less than a month ago. I told you I would, the first Saturday that I had off, unfortunately, that day came too late.
I was going to ask you to prom, we would have had so much fun.
This past week has been Hell. I miss you more than you could ever imagine. My face is stained with tears.
You have changed my life and you will be deeply missed, greatly by me, and by many others as well.
My heart goes out to your brother, Joe, who has too lost his best friend, as well as your mother who deserves all the sympathy in the world.
I will always remember the times we shared, the numerous hugs, and all the pecks on the cheek.
I love you Tom.
Thoughts of You-
During the day,
During the night,
In my thoughts and dreams,
You’re always there with me.
No matter where I go,
No matter whom I see,
No matter what I think about,
Thoughts of you invade me.
I can’t get enough of you.
I don’t know what to do,
I’m driving myself crazy,
I can’t stop thinking about you.
I’ve never felt this way,
I’m unsure why I do,
The only thing I wish I could do,
Is tell you how much I love you.
Without You
Without you there is no colour,
Only shades of grey-
Without you I feel numb,
Forever I shall lay-
Without you lying by my side,
Without your tender touch,
Without you I will hide,
Without you in my clutch-
Forever I’ll be heartbroken,
You’ll never understand-
That I can never love again,
Because I held your hand-
Without you I am lost,
Forever in a shadow-
My sky is rain and clouds,
I’ll never see a rainbow-
Without your gentle kiss,
Without your big bright smile,
Without you here to miss,
Without you nothings worthwhile-
Forever I will remember,
The times you held me near-
Until that dreadful December
When you were no longer here.

Thomas, Im going to miss u buddy. We shared alot of great times throughout the years. Like in 8th grade gym class. We talked almost everyday and had many a laughs! In 8th grade science we used to talk about random stuff! and it was a fun time. The times i will remember the most, was in elementary school. I remember when i used to come over to ur house alot and just hangout til it got dark outside. I will miss you so much Thomas!!! I wish Mrs. Kathy and her family are ok and sorry for the loss :(

Thomas, in your too short life you obviously touched many hearts and lives and caused so many to laugh with your humor. Now we are left to cry... for a while. We know you are still alive, just in a different location in a different, even better way. May the Lord comfort all who love you as only He can, and may He surround your family and friends with caring, compassionate and loving people. Sincerely, Wayne and the Kolb family.

My heart is broken over this tradgedy. With all of my heart I pray for the Lord to tend to your hearts. To hold you up and sustain you. Remember, God lost a son as well. He knows you by name and He is the only one who has a heart big enough to carry your pain. Put your trust in him. No one can take Thomas from His hand.
December 11, 2009
Thomas! i love you so much. we got so close the past 3 weeks. and i cannot even explain how much i was hurt when i got the news. you were an amazing kid. and this is not fair. you are so important to so many people. and everyone is hurt. its been so much more quiet without you around. and its definately not the same. and never will be. sitting in class you can just tell theres and empty place. my heart now has a whole, that will never be mended. i miss you so much. and i will never ever ever forget you. i will join you above someday. and then i will get another hug! i love you. so many insiders in such a short time. i will never forget any of them . you are truly amazing. you changed my life. <3.

Tom, you were the most amazing person I have ever met. I wish I knew why you left us so suddenly. It's hard sitting at the lunch table without you. I kept expecting you to walk in with a Monster in hand and a corny saying flowing out of your mouth. I want you to show up and say "Just kidding, I'm back." I miss you so much baby. You were the baby of the group and the only thing keepest us together. I just wish I could tell you how much you've brought us all back together.
I will always be the
sprinkles to your donut.
And you will always
be the cheese to my macaroni.
December 11, 2009
its hard for everyone knowing that tom isnt with us anymore and we will all miss him. he was always the one to go to when you needed to laugh or talk and he was always there for his friends. the greatest thing of all would probably be the most chocolaty milk in the world he used to make whenever i came to his house lol. he is the first person that i really and truly loved and i know that i will never forget him. he was loved by so many people and theres is no way that anyone can forget his smile. i wish that things hadnt ended up this way but now he is in a better place and i hope that his family is ok. - Kara M.

Thomas and i were very good friends for 4 good years. we were neighbors, and basicly like siblings, we walked to the bus stop all the time and just talked about things going on. we never had an akward silence unless it was bcause of an inside joke. we have so many memories together, and i miss him so much. we managed to be more than friends for a while, but then went back to being friends again. he is my best friend.. and i cant believe he is gone..i cried for seven hours straight last night.. and i still cry when i realize that i will never see him again..i still think he is here sometimes..thankyou for being there for me Thomas, you are my best friend..

There are no words that can ever describe how sorry I am for the loss of this child. His Mom, Dad, and family have my family's deepest sympathy. My son (Jake) had very nice things to say about Tom when I asked about him last night. From what he said, Tom was a good and very funny kid and he will be missed so much by many.
I pray that his family can find some peace in their hearts and I pray that God will give them strentgh to somehow get through this very difficult time. I am so very sorry.
