Mecia,
I am so glad I came to the funeral to see how loved Tommy was by his friends and family. Of course, I didn't expect anything less. The church service was very moving and the graveside remarks very appropriate to capture Tommy's personality that I so remember. I am sorry I have not stayed in touch better over the years. It is my loss. Know you and your children are in our thoughts and prayers. May you feel God's comforting embrace in the days ahead.

Tommy was singular in starting soccer at Garinger. Today my son plays so I often think of Tommy as I watch the children play. I was making some bad choices in high school. Tom set an example of a better way. Today I recognize his example as one of christian value and practice.

Peace and blessings ...
