Dear Aunt Collette, Tommy and Michael,

Even though we are so saddened by your loss, we feel so lucky to be loved by Tom and a part of all of your lives. We love You.

Dear Colette, Tommy and Michael,
We will all miss Tom. I am proud he was part of our family.
He always found the coolest socks.Love you, Terri

Dear Collete, Michael and Tom,
I feel I had the priviledge to have counted Tom as a friend. He was a great listener and always had sound advice. He shall be missed. The world has lost someone very special.
My deepest sympathy to your family on Tom's passing.

Dear Colette, Tom and Michael,
We are so sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of knowing Tom from my 10 yrs. as Legislative Aide to Tom Johnson. He was a wonderful, knowledgeable, and, needless to say, quite an entertaining individual! My son, Jonathan, spent one summer at NIU rooming with Tommy and was deeply saddened to learn of his passing. His zest for life and quick wit will not be forgotten.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Jan Lewan

Colette, Tommy and Mike,
We will all miss Tom; even people who may never have known his name but were touched by him. May God grant this earth another Tom someday!

Colette Our Sympathy to you and your sons.
Tom was a gentle person and a Gentleman.
