My TommyBoy, you are gone but will never be forgotten. You came back into my life at a time when I so desperately needed you and brought me friendship, laughter and love. I know you're up there flying with my Angels and making wonderful music with Joe singing and you playing the guitar and singing along. Peace, My Heart, My Heart.
