John "Tommy" Rose

Well I grew up calling you Uncle Tommy, but really your my cousin. A piece of me is forever gone. You are so very special to me. I did not know just how much until well into my twenties, but you were a very giving man and had a heart of gold. You gave me one of my biggest dreams ever. I will never forget that and forever be grateful. You always looked after me. Family was always very important to you, in fact I don't think anyone will know the family tree as you did. I am so Glad that you met...

Uncle Tommy: You always said me and crystal were the kids you never would have, and no matter how i screwed up in life you always were there to give me advice and tell me which road i should take. My biggest regret is not getting to talk to you recently, and tell you what a profound effect you had on my life and how much i love you. Rest in Peace, Uncle Tommy, gone but never forgotten.

well uncle tommy i sure miss you i wish you were still here to see me grow up i love you and will forever.. :) you are an amazing person!! i know that you were in pain but i still wish you could come again so i can hug you one last time and give you kiss one last time you are my night in shining armor!! you will always will be!! you have lots of neices and nephews but i knew that you loved each and everyone of us you were a really awesome and comforting person. hope you have fun seeing nanny...

Uncle Tommy, you will live in my heart forever. You spoiled me to no end all of my life and you were always my greatest supporter, no matter what! You stuck up for me and you encouraged me through everything. I keep seeing you and Nanny walking around together and her giving you a tour of that big castle in the sky. Give her kisses for me!!! I will miss your sweet voice on the phone so much!!! My kids are sending kisses and hugs your way and praying for God to hold you in his arms close...

Tom you were a wonderful brother. You inspired me when I got my first real job and was throwing papers at the same time by telling me I was a "hustler". It's funny how we remember certain things from many years ago. I know your with Mom, Papaw, Granny and all our other relatives now and I will be so happy to see ya'll all again when my time on this earth is up. Well done my brother, you made me very proud!
