Hey Tommy...I really could use a talk or just to hear your voice.My life was going great but lately I am questioning a lot.I am not in a good place lately and have no one to talk to.I could use some advice.I am just so lonely and sad all the time.It doesn't even feel like Christmas.Miss and love you to the stars.

I think about you every day, my friend. I don't know friendship like I did with you. you were a good man, a perceptive and loyal friend. I'm truly lucky to have been a friend of yours. Lucky to have had even a sliver of time (though I endlessly wish there was so much more time), and you made sure to cram as many awesome moments and times in there as possible. Thank you. Tommy, for being my friend, and changing my life.

TOMMY,
HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY
MY BEAUTIFUL SON

With tears in my eyes,
a smile on my face.
I know you are well,
in a wonderful place.

Alot has changed,
since you went away.
But I still think of you,
love & miss you everyday.

Your family and friends,
remember you too.
And still share a story,
about things you would do.

You were there when I needed you,
and in a little while.
I knew everything would be better,
because of your beautiful smile.

Tommy you will always be with me,
for the rest of my time.
In your children, family, friends, music & memories,
and when I pick up a dime.
LOVE YOU LOTS,
MOM

This message to you is in love to you, Tommy, as well as to your close family and friends who remember you, love and miss you. Sorry it has taken a bit to work up the nerve for this. I just want to point out that there is not one item on this guestbook that doesnt speak volumes of the love your family and friends have held for you. It means you were an amazing person. I had good friend from JR high and high school who passed one year after we graduated. It took us all, who loved Brenda, so very many years to feel as if the pain of the loss was gone. Recently, I threw up a facebook post about missing her and things we would do to skip class etc in the nurses office, thing we used to lol about,etc. Happily, there were many other posts from others who grew up with her, knew her from school etc. They were all fond, genuine memories of Brenda and those of us who knew her, and their own memories as well. No tears anylonger. No tears. Just the good stuff, and it took us 20 yrs. to get there folks. Just hang in there. It wont hurt forever but it takes a long time to get to that place. I have a bunch of conversational memories of you Tom. You have been on my mind a lot since I learned you had passed. I have asked Billy to take me put flowers at your grave. Its very hard on him on him to have lost you. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Please stay close to Billy and continue to point him into the right direction, also. He will always need you for that, Tommy. Love. Cyn
