I am so sorry to hear of your recent loss. I extend my sincere sympathy to all of the family and friends at what I know is a very sad and grief-stricken time.
I know first hand how profound a loss it is when you realize that he will no longer be there for all the events in your life. I can tell you though that the very best way to mark his passing is by filling your mind with all of the wonderful memories you have of the happy times you had together. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

May knowing I share the whole family's grief make it a bit easier to bear. Tommy's father loved him so much. Every phone call was ended with "I love you." Now they are both in heaven awaiting all of us. My heartfelt sympathies go out to you all.

R.I.P Tom. I never got the chance to really get to know you, but what I do know is the love that you had for your family and your friends was sincere as can be. And I know that you will continue your duties as a father, husband, friend, brother, uncle, etc. Although your not here in person, we know your here in heart and spirit. Look down on everyone, especially Crystal...comfort her, tell her it's okay to cry, but also tell her that this isn't goodbye. Give them all strength as they mourn the loss of you. Fly high
To the family: I love ya'll and am just a phone call away if any of ya'll need me. Be strong <3

Daddy,
Im having a hard time accepting the fact that I cant have my phone calls anymore and the fact that your not here all together. Were gonna miss you so much. I still seldom find nyself trying to call you, wether we talk for two hrs or if its just to here u say "hello darlin"or "hey babyyy". It just doesnt seem real one bit. I still feel like im living in some kinda nightmare and just cant wake up. Im gonna miss you so much. Give pop pop a kiss and hug for me, and watch over us all. We love you!
Love always and forever,
Jess, Frankie, Alyssa, Kylie, and Hunter.
