My heart goes out to you and Kevin, Aunt Gin. -My own cousin and I feel I hardly knew him at all...but he laughed at every corny joke I threw out and he was one of the few geeks in the family that I could talk movies with. (compliment) What a good guy.

Ginger(mom) and Kevin,
My heart goes out to the both of you for the loss of Tommy. I truly loved him like a brother and I feel so blessed to have known him. I wish that I could have been there for the both of you. Ginger, you will always be my 2nd mom. I wrote this for you.

Things that you will miss so much.
His smile, his laughter, and his touch.
His home-made pizzas and spicy food.
Going for a walk if he was in the mood.
These will be memories for you to treasure.
Your sadness and grief no-one can measure.
He'll sing and play his guitar in heaven.
While looking down upon you and Kevin.

Dear Ginger and Kevin,

My heart is filled with sadness at your loss of Tommy. I can not imagine the pain you both feel now but I want to let you know that my thoughts are with you.

No words can express how much a part of your life Tommy was, and will always be. Tommy was one of a kind, and I will miss the times we played music together and laughed.
God gave us a true son/brother and friend that remains with us through the rest of our lives, so close yet not with us in body any longer. He is now at peace.

I know you will call if there is anything at all I can do, I am here for the both of you. You both are in my thoughts and prayers,
John Glidden
