Papa,
You will always be in my thoughts. Although I regret not having seen you in a while, I will always treasure the time we spent together. I am glad you had a chance to meet Rebecca, you made a great impression on her. You meant a lot to me and I will miss you. Rest in peace and I will see you sometime in the future (hopefully many years from now if I am lucky).

Dad:
The night Pat called me with the bad news it was terrible. Then I had to do the hardest thing I think I ever had to do, and that was to call Tim and let him know. You would have been proud of him, as he was very strong, and not a tear. He came right over, and Tom left us alone and we sat for over an hour, and talked about our wonderful memories we had with you and ma. You both were so good to him, and I know he will never forget the wonderful times you had together. I probably should have said it more, but THANK YOU, not only for taking the time to help me raise him, but for sticking by us both, in good and bad times. THANK YOU for all the little extra things you did or us, without ever complaining. THANK YOU for being the best father, Papa, and I speak for Tom here, the best Father-In-Law anyone could ask for. Just one more favor though, give Ma a big hug from all of us when you see her.

I will always remember what a gentleman Gene was and how he was dressed so impeccable. His spirits were very high to the end, he always made Pat and I laugh every time we saw him. There was always a funny story that Gene would tell us. He loved his family and friends very much. Even though I only knew Gene for such a short time, I am definitely blessed for knowing this awesome man.
I will never forget you Gene!
I miss you. Minga!

Uncle Gene,
I will never forget our family gatherings at Grandpa and Grandma Myers' house in Lawrence Ma. Spending Sunday afternoons with all my uncles and aunts gathered together playing 45's brought a sense of family to my youth that has stayed with me my whole life.
You and Aunt Joyce always treated me with kindness. Even when the road of life made it a long time between seeing each other I never felt distant or that I needed to act like someone I am not when we were together.
Perhaps that feeling is one of the true meanings of family.
I'll never forget your kindness and the closeness family brings that you helped to foster.
With loving memories, your nephew,
Tom Bomil

Gene:
What I am going to miss most are the stories you would tell on our twice yearly trips down to visit you. Even though you repeated most of them, I loved it, cause each time you would tell them a little bit different. I know you are in a better place now. As far as your loving daughter Brenda is concerned, as you made me promise on the day I married her, I will "take over from here", and look after her. Rest in peace.
Tom

What moves through you is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, you may not understand why he left this earth so soon, or why he left before you were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, you begin to remember not just that he died, but that he lived. And that his life gave you memories too beautiful to forget.
May your family and friends comfort you in this time of great loss.
With love,
Tammy and Chad Hamilton
