Rhonda, Tom and family: I am so sorry to hear about T.J. I can't imagine how you feel at this time. I know none of us have the words to console you as much as we would want to. But I do know who can help you to make it through 1 hour, 1 day at a time. Jesus said Psalm 50:15 "Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me." Matthew 5:4 says 'Blessed are they who mourn for they shall be comforted". Call out to Jesus, only He can heal you. Rest in His love and comfort. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I love you Rhonda.
God Bless,

We were so sorry to hear about the loss of T.J. I did not know him as well as Adrian but the brief encounter let me know what a kind person he was. Know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and know that we love you as well. Rest in the comfort of the LORD.

Rhonda & Tom
I am so sorry to hear about your loss I actually just heard and I couldn't believe it. It is always hard for me to hear about someone my age passing especially so suddenly. There is no way to prepare yourself for a loss like this and there is no easy way to get through it. I just hope you can find some comfort in the lord. I know T.J. meant everything to you both but God will never leave you or forsake you and he will never give you more than you can bear. It is not always easy to understand the Lords plan, but just know he does have a plan and I believe he must have a higher calling for him now. He will be missed. God bless you and your family
