Not sure what to say?

Hey Tommy!! Eighteen years have passed and you left a huge void in our family...I will always remember your vivacious personality and how you always lit up the room with your smile..I still have you in my wedding video dancing with Anne ..you guys were the couple that I greatly admire..my mom passed away in March and I hope you were there to greet her in heaven !! You will never be forgotten and miss you ❤

Always the youngest brother of Bernie, George and Missy. Borrowed hockey skates our running internal joke...great for a laugh and a 'buy-back' whenever mentioned. Famous for your extraordinary effort in all you did. We miss this Good Guy.

So today is September 12th...we endured another painful anniversary of your murder....I have become more angry about what happened to you and how our beautiful little family was torn apart. Sean will never recover and I know God will understand if I never forgive....I miss us....You would love this...Courtney Mike and our three grandchildren have all temporarily moved into JD and my home....he appropriately escaped to Florida, but you would love it! After all, he is wonderful to Your...

. It is a beautiful July day and I sit visiting you....My Tommy.....I always feel that pain in my heart....Please pray for Sean and our beautiful family. We will always love and miss you. Our protector. How proud we always were and are of your courage and take charge personally. You were our hero long before we lost you

Pain fills our hearts when we think of that September day. So many loved ones lost in a senseless act of violence. We look forward to being reunited with our loved ones in a world where love and peace will reign.

Fifteen years and the pain of your loss will never go away. You are always loved and missed. You would be so proud of Courtney and her beautiful family. She is strong like you, sweet and always finds the good in people. Sean is struggling so please look over him. He struggles everyday without you. Rest in Peace My Love

Red rocks Park, outside of Denver, has a memorial climb every year to honor those firefighters that we lost. "We climb, because they climbed" is the theme and participants climb the steps equal to the stairs of the WTC. Money raised goes to the Fallen Firefighters Foundation. Many civilians walk along side firefighters from around the state and from out of state. About 2,500 marched/climbed this year. Each person carries a name and photo of one of the 343 fallen. I climbed for Thomas and...

This morning still manages to hit like a knife through my heart. Time nor life will ever take away the loss of you. "Through the Years" wonderful memories flood me everyday of my life.

Hello McCann Family,
I think of Tommy everyday. His picture is in my classroom as a tribute and memory of a dear friend lost on 9/11. He was our leader and captain of Ernie's in Woodside. I teach 5th grade in Deer Park. On 9/11, I tell the children of the sacrifice so many made that day, and my friend. Anne, you have a beautiful family. I know in my heart, Tommy loved you and his family so much. We will always keep his memory alive.
Love to all,
Dennis Maffei
