Tommy was a good friend of mine, growing up in Brawley. I will never be able to express how much his friendship meant to me as a child and teenager. He was such a good person and was always so nice to me. The goodness of his heart was evident even when he was a child. My prayers and thoughts are with Tommy's family. I pray that God gives you peace. I believe that Tommy's death will not be in vain. Justice will surely prevail! Find comfort in knowing that his spirit will live on forever and that he now knows no hurt or pain, but only happiness.

No one will ever understand the pain you feel as a mother with the loss of a child until they go through it themselves. We don't understand WHY it has to happen but God does. Whatever the plan is, know that it is for the best. I pray that God will comfort you and your family during this time. Remember all of the good times, laughter, smiles, hugs, kisses every little detail and keep them alive, and he will live on forever.
