Not sure what to say?

Tom, I remember when we were kids, playing in your tree fort with little alien action figures and dinosaurs. Climbing the pine tree in your back yard and getting the sap all over us. going for bike rides around the track at Mckinley middle school,going swimming in your pool and fighting over who was going to be the t-rex. I miss you so much Tom and I wish we still hung out in our later years, maybe things would have been different. It was too soon for you and Uncle Joe to leave us. I think...

Thomas,
My little brother...You will always be in my heart and never forgotten. Your nieces will always know who you were and that you loved them so much. I miss you dearly...wish I could see your smile and hear your voice. I still think I am in a nightmare...waiting to wake up. This is so weird...you not being here. It's not supposed to be like this...I will fulfill your bucket list. Maybe not the aviation school, or actually flying an airplane over the pacific ocean but I will at...

...think about you everyday. I will love you always and will forever hold you close to my heart. You will be missed.

GONE TO SOON...YOUR SMLIE WILL ALWAYS BE WITH US...R.I.P...GOING TO BE MISSED BY ALL WHO HAVE HAD THE JOY OF KNOWING YOU

Jim & Connie,
Wow I am so sorry about this!! I haven't even had a chance to talk to my Dad! I have no words to say other than My Family is praying for yours!!! May God be your strength through this hurtfull time in your life! God will bring you through this!! Much Love to yo all!!!

I will never forget Thomas's sweet smile and eyes. Rest in peace to Thomas and his dad.

It just doesn't seem right that you are gone. It seems like yesterday that we were at carman park in the same class and we would always talk about the wings and we would play kickball. I'm still in shock. You're gonna be missed!
