Hey Bubba... well today is another day of new beginnings... Lucy started Kindergarden and Sadie starts Pre-K... You would love these two little ladies... Sadie is you all over again... sometimes I think she is actually channeling you with some of the stuff she does. Keep an eye on Sara and help her make the right decision for her and the girls, maybe she will listen to you. We miss you terribly and wish you could be here with us... Love ya, mom

Thomas, I didn’t really know you even though we are we both come from Foley stock. I am in awe of your mom and dad and you beautiful sister Sara. You have two little nieces now and from photos and conversations we have had I know you would have been so in love with these two cuties. You are missed everyday and your absence at family get togethers and time spent at the lake house are never the same with that light up a room smile of yours. Your grandfather and my Dad were brothers, I’m sure you have seen them both up in heaven.
I wish I knew you Thomas. Just know that you parents and Sara& Leander and all extended family love and miss you very much. Keep watch over all who love and miss you so much.

You must be so proud of how your parents and sister are doing. You are part of an amazing family who continue to mourn your loss with such grace. Keep watch over them as they continue to honor your memory by living their lives with you and their memories of you safe in their heart...rest in peace Thomas

Well Thomas it's been 3 years to the day now! Some of my "walls" have come down and I'm starting to miss the Thomas that I competed with to see who could get up on water skies first me or you and the Thomas that would blow bubbles with Jackson on Easter Sunday down at Kathy's. I just wish I got to have the joy of watching my little boy turn into the loving caring grown man he really was.
Well bubba... miss you and love you tons!

Hi Thomas... hope Bernie has found you. We will all miss you both this weekend and Meredith's Wedding. REally with you guys could be there with us. Just wanted to let you know that you will always be my little boy and I love you very much.

To Tom's Family,
My husband and I had the honor of knowing your son while we were bringing our beloved dog Montana to Mass Vet for cancer treatments. Tom was so caring, kind, and loving to our boy, and was one of only a few people to reach out to us after Montana's death. Your son was a wonderful man, full of love and compassion - qualities we see none too often - and he had a great sense of humor and beautiful smile. We have thought of Tom often this past year, and were shocked to have just learned of his tragic passing. The world now has one less angel on earth. We will truly truly miss him always. We were blessed to have been in his presence if only for a short time.

Didn't believe it when I heard...too many people, taken way too soon. I used to ride on the bus with Tom and I cannot remember one bad thing about him. Always had a smile on his face with his pudgy cheeks! He will be missed! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this very very difficult time. Find the strength within each other to comfort and heal during this time.

I'm so sorry to read this. I had Tom for English during his junior year at THS. It wasn't always his favorite class (and yes, I remember a whole bunch of you guys who are signing this guest book!), but he was always so respectful towards me, always looking me in the eye, and I always respected him for that. He came back to see me a couple of years after he graduated to talk about things. I'll be thinking of Tom and praying for the family.

I send you my sincerest condolences on your terrible loss. My daughter Liz is a friend of Allison and Tom and she always spoke very highly of him. They shared a love of animals and that spoke to me of a person with a kind and gentle heart. I keep all of you in my prayers and I know that the God that I love will take Tom into His arms and welcome him home. May he rest in peace.
