Dear Denise, Danielle & Madelyn,
There are no words that I can say to make this sadness go away. Tommy loved you so Denise, you brought him the most joy - the love of his life. I am so sorry your togetherness was shortened.

Danielle & Madelyn he was so proud of both of you and loved you both very much. May his love keep you strong and somehow help you get through this sad, sad time. Time will heal, but at your pace, it is okay to cry, as someday your tears will turn to smiles. Always remember how much he loves you. He will always be in your heart.

You are loved by many and know our prayers are with you. We will see you in August and hold you so tight. You now have a special guardian angel above you and he will always be watching over you. May Tommy rest and may the days ahead somehow get easier for all of you.
Much love & prayers,
Lynne & Brian

A Reminiscence

YES, thou art gone! and never more
Thy sunny smile shall gladden me;
But I may pass the old church door,
And pace the floor that covers thee.

May stand upon the cold, damp stone,
And think that, frozen, lies below
The lightest heart that I have known,
The kindest I shall ever know.

Yet, though I cannot see thee more,
'Tis still a comfort to have seen;
And though thy transient life is o'er,
'Tis sweet to think that thou hast been;

To think a soul so near divine,
Within a form so angel fair,
United to a heart like thine,
Has gladdened once our humble sphere.
