Thomas A. Diefenbach

Dad- it has just been over a year since you have been gone. Here we are just about to go thru the holidays again without you here and that is really tough. I finally bought a house so that Corey will have a better life there. Thank you dad for watching over us.
Love-
Alison

Dad-your 63rd birthday just passed a couple weeks ago. I never thought that it would be so hard for me. Corey and I miss you alot.
"In tears we saw you sinking, and watched you pass away. Our hearts were broken, we wanted you to stay. But when we saw you sleeping so peacefully;free from all the pain, how could we wish you back to suffer that again.It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. For a part of us went with you, the day God took you home."
I love you...

Tom was my best friend. It was a special friendship that required no effort to sustain over many years even though we lived many miles apart.

He asked nothing of me nor I of him, and over the last 5 years we rekindled our friendship.

I'll miss my best friend.

Paul Gloekler

Dad- We had our ups and downs through life, but you have been there whenever I needed you. I am so glad that I got to see you so happy the last few years. I miss you so much. I hope that all of your pain is gone now. Buck misses you too. I love you. 28 years being your daughter wasn't enough, I don't think any amount of time would have been enough.

Love, Alison

Our love and prayers are with you all. Tom has had the love and support of all of you, and his peace can hopefully provide you some comfort in the days ahead.

Alison, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your father. If you need anything let me know. Your mother has my number. Love, Kevin
