Thomas P. DiBattista Jr.

Received a memory reminder today and the tears still flow. How I miss you, your voice and all our memories of the past cut short too soon. Your words of we are where we put ourselves still ring true everyday. I have moved again to a small town named Westminster and look forward to being in leaf peeping country to remind me of one of your favorite things. Just spent the weekend in Wells with my sisters but have to avoid the antique shops because you were not there to advise me what to buy....

Miss you more today than 16 years ago

Diba,
Why is it almost a year later that I am tearing up more? I know you would simpy tell me to "deal with it" but its harder each day. Missing you terribly and don't know what to do.

My sympathies go out to Tommy's family. Michael, I found out today about your brother's passing, had I known I would have come to pay my respects. May he rest in peace.

Hey Tommy,
Thanksgiving came and went. Mother Dearest made your famous cauliflower & cheese dish. I couldn't bring myself to eat any of it though, it just wasn't the same. I think of you every day. Of how quickly you were taken from us. Of how courageous you were throwing yourself a 50th birthday party knowing there was a good chance you weren't going to make it to 51. And you didn't, you knew didn't you? I have the picture of us in my living room and I look at it every day. I know you...

Hey Thomas,
I was driving down 125 to work today and I thought of you. The leaves are starting to change and this is the perfect time to go looking for antiques. I know you were here with me the other night. I know it wasn't just a dream. Keep coming to see me. Miss you everyday.

My fairy god-father,
I wanted to wish you a belated birthday. Your on my mind every day. And I know that the other night it wasn't me just dreaming of you. I know you were really there with me. Watch over "Mother Dearest" she needs you.
Love,
your god-daughter

I am Debbie DeVita Darlene's sister. I finally had the pleasure to meet Tommy in December of 07. What a perfect time to go to see him in the house. Wow!! Trees everywhere and the decorations were so wonderful, just as I had imaged them to be. For years Darlene had told me about all the ornaments. Some I recongnized from being a young child.

It was wonderful to finally meet him.

He was so special to Darlene and I know his family and friends will dearly miss him.

My dear Tommy, I miss you! I'm looking at the daisy's sitting here in honor of our friendship-only you knew how much darla loved her daisy's! Tommy you made me a better person-before the stupid cancer and after. Our friendship was like no other, I always felt so blessed to have you in my life. I'm not a good story teller so I'll leave that up to the others that have signed (anne m. so perfect!), I've enjoyed reading them especially in the morning, they always bring a smile. That's one thing...
