Dear Colleen, I am so sorry for your loss. We don't know each other, but I suffered a similar loss a year and a half ago. My husband was an officer with the Cherry Hill Police Department. My heart aches to hear that someone else has to suffer like this. I didn't know how to reach out to you, but wanted to let you know that you can contact me if you ever want to at [email protected]. If nothing else, I can listen.

Dear John (Cheryl), Cheryl Hughes,Colleen and families of Tom:

I am a dear friend from years ago in the 70's being married to Al Cook, we lived in Blackwood and Hilltop at the time; we had shared some happy fun memories back then, simplier lives we lived.
I just heard of the loss of your Dear Son. I am deeply saddened for everyone of you. I feel this is a tragic loss for everyone in our township and for your families. Just knowing him as you did, what you all have shared with him through the years is a blessing in your lives. You had the joy of love with one another and the true honor to have been his parents and his family. God must have had a bigger plan for Tommy, know he is in loving arms forever and know also you and your family are in my prayers to have strength and find the peace in your hearts.
If you need anything or want to talk please know I am near.

Sincerely,

The Smith Family
