I still can't believe you're gone. You promised to always take care of me and protect me. What I hate most is that the suns still rises every morning and it's not as bright without you. We shared so many things other than our love of the mountains. I guess we were lucky being the two youngest since we had time to get to know each other and share so much.

Now there's no one to make me laugh the way you could. My heart breaks every new day without you.



With that last burst of blue, I knew it was you.

Now whenever I see one I'll know it's hello from you.

A final goodbye turned into a forever hello; it's just like you.



One last one since you liked my silly poems so much.

I LOVE YOU, YULCH

Tommy,
A pal,A friend, A buddy, and most of all My brother. I will always remember you. My heart is broken. When you passed away you took a part of me with you. ( tears are flowing as I write this) You meant so much to me and my family. The memories I have of us growing up are priceless and what is cool is Dianna (my wife) and my daughters Heather and Kimberley know all the stories of our adventures to pass along. You will not be forgotten. Everytime I see the mountains of Colorado I will be thinking of you. To all who read this, let it be known we lost a good man with a big heart who would do anything for you and he was to young to pass away. Until we meet again. Your pal, your friend, your buddy, your brother.

Tommy,

The dawn has come again and you're not here to share it with me. The wild flowers are blooming. The mountains still rise. The snow will fall and my heart will still be broken. I will love you forever.

Eternally,
Your loving sister,
KATHIE
