Although I have not seen you in some time, your loss is deeply felt. You taught me very important things growing up, like how to spit, how to use a butterfly knife and how Dungeons and Dragons and Iron Maiden were essentials to a growing, young mind. I am truly sorry to hear of your passing and more sorry not to have been able to say good-bye. I am the richer for having known you and the poorer now that you are gone. Rest in peace, old friend. You are missed.

The windchimes are a very comforting reminder that you are at peace and no longer suffering. You will never be forgotten, dear friend.
Love,
Bev M.

Hi Tom (Hunny),
It's been a year already and there hasn't been a day that has gone by that I don't wake up thinking of you, fallen asleep thinking of you. I even have some dreams of you, to only wake up and it's only a dream. I find myself thinking how could this happen to you, why did you have to leave us so soon.
I miss you very much, the only thing that makes it easier is to know that you are not suffering anymore.
Rest in peace, You will always be forever in my heart.

Sometimes, when I am alone, all of a sudden I get a warm feeling, like your presence is near me. I want to hold on to that warmth and never let it go because it comforts me. I don’t feel so sad when I feel you near me. If a genie came along and offered me only one wish, I wouldn’t even have to think about it. I would choose you in a heartbeat – to have you healthy and back here with us. I always knew that you were a special kind of person, and you made me so proud to be your Mom. The cards...

To All:
A whole year has gone by since we all lost Tommy, but it still feels like yesterday. And there are so many conflicting feelings at his loss ~ the sadness and the pain, and yet the peace of letting him go so he can be done with his gallant fight. He was and still is an amazing presence in our lives, and will always be found in our hearts and in the world around us. Someone said he hugged with his whole heart - he did! My Laura said he can be found in the wind and the leaves...

Merry Christmas, Tom. I can't tell you how much you are missed each day and today was particularly hard. You are in my heart and my prayers always.
Much love,
Mom

Tom,
Thanksgiving wasn't the same with out you. I had a very hard time preparing the vegetables and I didn't have any onions to blame the tears . I didn't even want to have dinner. I will have you know I didn't add any thing extra to the potatos. It was funny though when Sam saw Ricky come in the door. She saidHi and then realized he wasn't supposed to be there and her mouth hit the floor. The day did get better once we started playing cards with mom and Ricky. I hope you are at...

The sun is shining and the sky is a beautiful blue. The wind is chilly and the crisp leaves are rustling on the ground. There was a buck in the woods out back today and I saw a shooting star last week. There were tears in my eyes yesterday, 5 months gone by, but somehow I think you're still here. You are in the sun, the sky, the wind and the leaves. When I see things like a deer and a shooting star I think of you, and say "Thank you". I miss you Tommy.

Dear Tom
As you already know we took you up to the Swift River this past weekend. I really think you would have liked the little ceremony that we had for you. People told stories and Allie sent a letter for Barbara to read because she couldn't be there. You would have been proud of us. Tina, Angie, Mom, and I all stood in the OH MY GOD cold water while we let some of you go into the river. Then Rick took the rest of you out to where you used to swim, yes he swam out there, and he let...
