Oh, Anna, if you only could see Tommy fly through the air holding on to a ski rope you would know he's been so close to heaven many times over! He finally made it! The fondest memories are adrenalin filled still! Heading toward Big Long Lake from the hilltop in little plastic boats (whose bottoms eventually wore through by the end of the fun from the stones, roots, and other earthly matter) Tommy (and us all) defied calamity! Most of us actually made it between the trees...you understand what a thrillseeker he was because chances are you had these personality traits in common! On my blackboard right now it reads:
"We will be called to account for every permissible pleasure life offered us but we refused to enjoy while on earth."
I'll miss Tom, but I'll never forget the happiness he gave us, and you and your love. Peace be with you. xox, cousin Dana

I have lost one of my best friends. Tom was like my little brother, and we talked almost every day. I will miss him terribly. Anna, you know how I felt about you both. You are part of my extended family. If you need help, I am just across the street.
