As long as I can dream, as long as I can think,
as long as I have a memory...
I will love you.
As long as I have eyes to see and ears to hear
and lips to speak...
I will love you.
And as long as I have a heart to feel, a soul stirring within me,
an imagination to hold you...
I will love you.
And as long as I have a breath to speak your name...
I will love you.

My Dearest TJ,
The last time my eyes looked upon that round face and brown eyes was when we left Hawaii in June 1996. You had the cutest legs and pigeon-toes. No doubt, you and my daughter Ghanesha were the most spoiled kids on Schofield. (SMILE) You two were like twins. If I fussed at one, I had to fuss at the other. It's funny how life is nothing but a vapor and soon gone! That is extremely difficult to understand when a life so young is taken away much too quickly. Nevertheless, God led me to this site and I've never visited this site until today. Perhaps I needed to vent because I have held my feelings in for so long! At first, I was angry at God for allowing you to be taken away from your mom. I felt that your mom didn't deserve all the hurt and pain of losing you. She loved you and your brother so so very much! I use to see the love of how she would look at you. I use to see the love of how she would hug you. I used to see the love when she would correct and reward you with praise. Fran was one of the best moms I knew. She was a great example of a how a mom should treat her children. John was a true big brother for you and I could only imagine the hurt he's been through of losing his little brother. You and John were like my other children and I could take you anywhere without problems. You were very mannerable and you loved your mom and respected her very deeply. I miss you TJ and never, will I forget you my Sweetie. Never! God will continue to embraced your family and friends in His arms to comfort them. You are an angel and you are in God's hands and I shall see you again. You will continue to be in all our hearts! I love you! May the perpetual light shine upon you forever and ever! Amen!

Hi Mr. TJ - Miss you much - I was with your Mom this morning to celebrate her 2nd RETIREMENT, Friday, 31 January 2014. There is so much to be proud of - we both are BLESSED to have her in lives. Continue to have a Hallelujah good time.
July 2, 2013
TJ,, Although years have gone by, and the hurt and pain of not having you with us has subsided some knowing that you are in Heaven with Our Lord and Savior and doing things that could not possibly be done in this mortal world, That day has not been forgotten, And knowing that Fran is finding peace makes it easier, Nephew,, keep shining that bright light on your mom and the rest of your family and friends. Love Always, Aunt Rhonda

You were to good for this wicked world you accomplished so much in such a short period of time. Now you are sitting next to our Lord and Saviour on the throne. You are so loved and missed but as time goes on you are never ever forgotten and you are a part of our lives every single day.

To know u is to understand and recognize what an impact that continues to be made because u touched so many when u were hear and u continue to shine IhN thru grace mercy and peace
April 4, 2013
So how does a Mom know where her son soul has landed? She smiled one day, she laughed , she started to be able to sleep again, her heart was at peace she joined the world again . Mom misses her baby every day and thru Jesus grace and mercy she sees signs and finally realizes that her angels soul landed in a place that indeed allowed her to smile again laugh once more and to recognize the blessings that have allowed a mother to loose a child' here on earth but to recognize and celebrate where his soul has landed! Only a merciful God would allow peace in a mother's heart

Many times I remember you.. I always remember your mothers love. I remember maturity through knowing you and I remember your forgiving smile - I remember forgiveness. We cannot blame God for man's free will, everyone has their own path that we must try to accept. Yours took you (too) early to do better things with our saviour. I wish words & time could heal your mothers wounds. Mrs. Francis - I will never forget him.

TJ,
I miss you dearly and despite the years that have gone by, it's still hard to believe that you aren't going to walk in my mom's house like you own the place (smile). You won't believe how grown Little Regg is now. He isn't so little anymore. You know, it saddens me that my dauther will only know you through pictures. What's crazy is she is a June baby as well. Wish you were still here with us. Despite my busy life, I think about you often. Love you with all my heart!

We haven't seen each other since we were little in Hawaii. U was more spoiled then I was lol. I wish we would've kept in touch growing up. When my mom told me what happened to u my heart dropped. The good and the innocent always goes first and that's not fair at all. I don't know, u popped up in my mind. It's hard to think of u being gone cause I still see that little boy missing his front teeth running around on the playground at OLS. Much respect due and given to u. U'll always be in all of our hearts. Alot of love 4 u.

What if the brilliant, twinkling stars that bring the dark night sky to life are windows looking out ot the heaven? And at the very moment when we're wishing on those stars, hoping that the loved ones we have lost are happy, safe, and free... maybe they are looking from the other side, making the same wish for us sending us all their love. Dear Fran, I'm wishing you the comfort of loving memories and the feeling that you'll always be connectd to one so close to your heart..Sharon Vallaeau. I believe we'd all like to think that it's true... Each of us looking at the stars while our children are looking at those same stars from "the other side." I guess we all believe anything that can bring us peace, especially at this time of year for you and your family. I've learned that there are no words to bring comfort, but I've also learned how important it is to each of us that our child is remembered, so I wanted to let you no wthat your precious son Tommie is being remembered by me today on his 26th birthday. You can be sure, too that our Kristin is throwing him one BIG bash to help hm celebrate! Then tonight, look up at the stars...I'm sure Tommie will be there sending you his love..I'm sorry my friend..With Love From One Mom to Another, Linda Harkness

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.

...came across the Taz blanket you got me years ago for either Christmas or one of our anniversaries but I can't remember. Just know that when I'm bundled up with it, it will be like having you next to me. Missing you doesn't seem to get any easier but I've learned to cope.
You're always in my heart & thoughts. The years passing will never change that. Now, my grandfather can join you, my grandmother & father in Heaven and continue to watch over me.

Just wondering what you would be doing today? Getting ready to hang out and celabrate your birthday? Graduated from college, first apartment, in love, full time job, hanging out with your Big Brother, giving back, Peace Corps, signed up for the Lakers Team and working in your field Sports Medicine? Just hanging out with Mom! Giving Grandpa a big hug for Father's Day and going to GA to hang out with your Dad and the rest of the family. I don't know but what I do know is that I miss you so very much and do take comfort in knowing that you are wrapped in the arms of Jesus and with that knowledge is my moment of comfort.
