I am so sorry that your family is enduring this pain. I know this pain well
as 30 years ago this April, that same river took my big brother and his fiance. Your loss is great and the suffering hard but in time I promise you the pain will heal and his life will always be remembered on this earth by everyone who loved him. Hold him Dear and celebrate the memories of his life from this day forward. 30 years and I still have people who knew my brother share their stories and fond warm memories as will your Beautiful Thomas. God Bless you Always.

My deepest heartfelt sympathies to Mr.& Mrs. Hecht, Chloe and Ali. Tommy was a good friend of my daughter "Jenny O" and through her, her father and I have been fortunate enough to share some good times with her friends. I remember Tommy from Jenn's going away party just a few weeks ago and he was smiling away. He was a special person and I took part in the search via social media and radio to find Tommy. We were all devastated by the tragic news/outcome. I hope that all your happy memories and times of Tommy will sustain all of you in order to heal you in this time of so much sorrow. He may have had a short life but I believe that he had already lived a full happy life with all of family and friends that loved him.

Dave and I met Tom at Steins when he was a teenager. He was always such a sweet guy and always had a big smile when he would talk with me. I remember him being at our wedding, seeing him at parties with Mike and Tiffany and being apart of the important steps in his friends lives. He was just full of joy! Tom will be greatly missed. My prayers go out to all of you.
