Not sure what to say?





Your Grandson, Dylan - seems he's nuts about his grandpa!

Hi Daddy! I had my little man, Dylan! I'm sure you got to spend some good time with him up in Heaven. I wish I could see you hold him. He's so precious and has your little chicken legs! haha!! He'll know all about his grandpa, but wish you were here! I miss you and love you so much!

Love your little girl,

Hi Daddy! Happy Birthday! Can't believe another year has come and gone! I'm sure you are spending some time with my little man before he comes to us down here. I miss you very much and I'm sad we won't have any pictures of you and the little guy, but no worries, he'll know his grandfather! Hope you are having a great birthday, I'm thinking about you.

Love you always,

Hi Daddy - 4 years since we burried you. Thinking of you now and always. Happy Valentine's Day - I think one of your favorite holidays! I remember getting like 3 or 4 cards because you could never pick one. :) Sending all my love to you in Heaven.
Love your little girl,
Jessie

Hi Daddy - 4 years today...time flies. We got a big snow storm overnight into today, it was very fitting. So a beautiful reminder of you. I've been thinking about you all day and miss you very much. I love you, Daddy.

Love your little girl,
Jessie

Hey Daddy, it's been a long time...too long. I think about you all the time and miss you more and more. I can't believe 4 years is coming up already. As I am sure you already know, but I'm having a baby!! I think about what the future holds and I look forward to it but then also think how sad I am that my baby will never meet his grandfather. I often wondered what your dad was like and who he was since I never got to meet him. You mean the world to me and this baby will definitely know his grandfather even if he doesn't exactly meet you. Who knows as he is growing in my belly, maybe you are up there coaching him through it. Life is pretty hard and confusing at times and it would be nice to talk to you. Mom reminded me of the story when you tried to change Tommy's one diaper - makes me laugh every time! Well I promise to write soon - even if I don't write, I'm always thinking of you. I love you so much!

Love your little girl,
Jessie

Hi Daddy, it's been a while. I've been thinking about you a lot lately, it's been so hard. I often question if anything could have changed what happened but then realize there's no taking back the past. It makes me sad. I found Justine again! You'd be so happy to see her...as I'm sure you already have though. I missed you at our Labor Day party. The girls at work got me a butterfly bush so make sure you come visit! Stay with me...I love you and miss you so much!!!!

Love your little star,
Jessie

Happy Father's Day Daddy. We had the butterfly walk last week, it rained but it was nice. Mom won the 50/50 - it was crazy, you would have laughed. I wish you were here to hear me say Happy Father's Day. It just doesn't feel right saying it and not seeing you smile and say thank you. You would have been so proud of Tommy yesterday at his game - he got a safety then when I got there he got a sack looked right at me and pointed at me like it was for me. You and Mom raised us so well and I can't thank you enough. Life wasn't always perfect but I know you and Mom did everything you possibly could for us. I remember the good times and miss them every day. I wear my stars proudly since I know that's what you named me so many years ago. I love you so much and I miss you more than anything.

Daddy's little girl,
Jessie

Hi Daddy - Happy Birthday! It's sad to celebrate your day without you here...so have a cold one for me up there! :) I've been thinking of you a lot and I always do. I see cardinals all of the time - and even on my way to work this morning. I miss you very, very much and it still feels weird to not be able to call you up and say hi. Sorry I didn't write you on Easter this year, I was thinking of you, just didn't get to a computer. Well have a very happy birthday and I love you so much!
Your little girl,
Jessie

Jessica Green

March 2, 2009

Hey Daddy, I was watching it snow today - it was so pretty! I know we used to love just sitting there and watching it. I saw a cardinal fly past me yesterday morning on my way to cheer competition - thanks for letting me know you were there. :) I've been thinking of you all day! I love you and miss you.
Your little girl forever,
Jessie

How proud you'd be!

Jessica Green

February 6, 2009

Hey Daddy...three years. I truly can't believe it! I think about you all of the time. These past two weeks have been two of the hardest weeks of my life and knowing today rounds out the second week it's just so hard. I miss you so much and I wish you were still around. I know you are here in spirit and I know that's all I have but I want you back! I wish things had been different before you died but I know I can't take the past back. So I've learned a major lesson. You will forever be in my heart and my mind. Make sure you come to see my girls at their first competition this Sunday! I love you and miss you so much!!!
Love always - your little girl

Merry Christmas Daddy. I miss you so much. I walk in at night and see the stars and just think you're up there somewhere. The moon the other night reminded me so much of the moon the night we buried you. Just saying that makes me realize this is real and not just a cruel joke. I can't believe this is the third Christmas without you. I look at stuff when I'm shopping and think you'd like it...but I don't get to buy it. Well, I'll be talking to you. I love and miss you so much!
Love Always,
Jessie

PS -my gravy on Thanksgiving came out amazing...thank you!

Jessica Green

November 27, 2008

Hi Daddy, it's been a while. Been thinking about you a lot. Happy Thanksgiving! I miss you a whole bunch! I'm going to try to make your gravy on Sunday when I do dinner - so make sure you're there to help me out, ok? I still can't believe you're gone. I'll be thinking of you. Love you! Miss you!
Your little girl forever,
Jessie

September 23, 2008

Well Daddy, I’ve been missing you a whole bunch this past week. So many things have just reminded me of you. It’s still hard to realize you are gone. You’d be so proud of Tommy and the way he’s playing football again – I’ve seen a butterfly float past me at the last two home games so I know you are there watching over us…just wish you could actually be there. I am so sad without you.
Love you always!
Jessie

July 27, 2008

Hi Daddy, I just wanted to drop by and say thanks for the Birthday wishes - I saw my butterfly flying around me for a little while when I was outside on my birthday. Though I wish it was really you, it was comforting. I gave blood at the Eagles training camp yesterday - it was neat how many people were there - and I came so close to getting field passes. You would have loved it. Well, I'll be thinking of you. Love you and Miss you Always!;

Happy Father's Day Daddy. I'm supposed to be with you on a day like today and it hurts so much that I'm not. I wish you were still here and I can't help but wonder why you are not. I try not to drive myself crazy wondering but there are some days where I can't help it. We had the memorial butterfly release and walk yesterday...it still feels so weird to go to things like that because reality sets in that you are not here anymore. I bought myself a CD the other day and while listening to Living on a prayer, all I can is imagine you singing it like you used to...how it says in the song take my hand and we'll make it I swear...it was very funny! I just imagine you taking my hand. Days like these are the worst...even though I miss you all of the time, I miss you even more on the special days. Well, I hope you have a wonderful Father's Day in Heaven - I love you so much and miss you so much.

Love, Jessie

June 1, 2008

Happy Birthday Daddy. I think about you all of the time - some days are harder than others. We have the memorial butterfly walk coming up soon (hopefully I don't break my foot before it this year like I did before..:). I see cardinals flying around pretty often at our new house - it gives me a sense of comfort. It stinks to think of you on your birthday and not be able to be with you. Well I hope you are having a good day. I love and miss you SO much!
Love,

Happy Easter Daddy! I've been thinking of you a lot and have been dreaming of you. I'm guessing that it's your way to come say hi. I miss you and love you very much!

Tom,
this has been the most lonesome two years of my life! I'm very sad to know I can't give you a call or you call me, and i miss you beyond words. I know if you could talk to me you would say the words in the poem that I sent in on your behalf........you are the sweetest brother a girl could ask for. I love and miss you very much.
your lil'sis,

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Two years have gone by since you left us. I'll never forget that night and the phone call and how lost and confused I felt. Some days fly by so fast and others seem to move like snails. All I have are memories of you, which I treasure. Memories can bring so much comfort but knowing we can't make any more is so sad. I think about you all of the time and miss you more than ever.
Love you,
Jessie

Merry Christmas. It’s been a rough year without you and not being able to talk to you. While Christmas shopping I saw so many Eagles things that were so neat that I would have loved to have bought for you. But now I just have your Angel on my Christmas tree, where it will be every year from now on. I really miss you a whole bunch. I love you.

Well Daddy, the second Easter without you has come and gone. I just can’t believe we are starting the second round of holidays without you. It is still so weird to know you aren’t here. I think of you often and look up in the clear night skies and see how bright the stars are. There is a cardinal that flies in my front yard and every time I see it I think of you. I miss you and love you even more.
Love you,
Jessie

I can't believe today is one year. Time has been flying by so fast but also seems to be going so slow. I still don't know what happened that night and still feel like I never will. I’ll never forget that night and the feeling I felt when I heard that you died. It was like my world shattered. I think about you all of the time and miss you so much. Love you more and more everyday,

Merry Christmas Daddy. I really miss that you aren't around anymore. Our house is just about done and I know you have been watching and helping me throughout the whole process of getting ready to move in. It was weird to do some Christmas shopping and not get anything "Eagles" for you this year. I know you'll be with me during the holidays but I can't help but feel an emptiness knowing here aren't here. We have a memorial service coming up and it was so hard for Mom and I to come up with something to write about you because it is so hard to talk about you like you are gone. You are very much alive in my heart and I'll never forget all of the fun times and happy holidays we had together and it is such a shame to know there won't be anymore. I miss you so much and love you more than ever.

I miss you uncle Tommy and have been thinking about you a lot lately!! I was looking up and smiling at you when the Eagles beat the Cowboys last week. Gosh, I wish you were here so I could tell you about my new job, new car and apartment. I know you would be proud! I cant wait to see you again someday! I love you

October 14, 2006

Well Daddy, it has been a little over eight months since you have been gone. Time is flying by. Aunt Linda sent me a picture of your grave stone, I am happy you have your marker there now. I am really hoping to get down there soon to visit you...but no matter where we are physically, I know you are always here with me. As I am sure you know, we were in Disney last week. The fireworks were unbelievable! I saw the bright star off to the side of the fireworks and I know you were there watching them with me. Also, thanks for your help on a day where I thought work was going to be terrible but I saw my butterfly fly past me in the morning and as I was leaving fly past me again. I hope you heard when I said thank you. We are going to be moving soon, you would really like the house! I talk to you all of the time and I know you can't answer back but please know that I love and miss you so much!! Love you always,
Jessie

Well Daddy, it has been seven months already. It really stinks without you here. I miss you so much. I could really use your expertise telling me how to paint around a radiator right now. I was offered Eagles tickets again this year for one of the preseason games and I just got so upset because I knew I couldn't give them to you and Mom again. I know you had such a good time last year. You are always on my mind. I love you!

I can't beleive it has been almost six months, on one hand it seems like yesterday and on the other it seems like forever ago.

Tom, my loving brother. I know how you loved the 4th of July. I remember so many times how you would laugh and how your eyes would sparkle when you would tell me stories of the fireworks that you had seen and how you loved the wonderful colors and loud booms! I also remember you telling me how you loved the cookouts and time with your family and the fact that you liked watermelon more than any of the rest of us "Hamilton's" ha!ha!

Happy 4th! Tom, I hope to see you again someday, to share more precious memories. I miss you soooooooooooooooooooooooooo much.

Hi Daddy. 5 months…can’t believe it. I am sure you had quite a view of the fireworks on the 4th – I am sure you enjoyed that. I hope my butterfly at the butterfly release was able to get up to you. I really miss you so much. Keep looking over me, OK? I love you!!

Happy Fathers Day Daddy. After so many years you get to spend this special day with your Dad. Unfortunately, I can’t. I miss you so much. Someday I will be able to spend another Father’s day with you. The saying “you don’t know what you have until it is gone” is so true. It is the little things I miss the most, your smile, your laughter, and the sparkle in your eyes when you would bat your eyelashes and say DaDa. It brings comfort to imagine you doing it...it still makes me laugh. I love and miss you more than words can say. Jessie

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HON, I wish you were here so we could celebrate your 52nd Birthday,although you would say you were 19, and I would always tell people how old you really was and you would get mad.

Keep watching over me and help me to find out what happened that night. I Love you very much . Happy Birthday. Sending you all my Love. Love Your Wife XXXXXXXXXXXXXXOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Roses are red, violets are blue,

Look who would have turned "52"!!

Happy Birthday Tom. Eventhough you would have been 52 today, you would not have looked it, or acted like it. ha!ha! You are the worlds oldest hippy. And you are to cool to be old. Not that 52 is old. It's just being more experienced in all that you know. I want to let you know that today is a very beautiful summer day. The sun is shining, and the birds are singing. Just the way you would have wanted this birthday day to be. I love and miss you very much. I hope you like the memorial I put on your grave. All of those items are personal and hold very special memeories for me and you. Just remember, we will never stop trying to find out what "really" happened to our special wittle brover. NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Anniversary Hon It would of been 29 years ago tonight since our first date. I still rememember that first night you came there with green jeans on and a get rowdy shirt on, I wish I could go back to that day again. It was love at first sight. We had such a good time that night just riding around and talking. I remember you got a flat tire when you left and your 1964 Chysler Newport. You spoiled me from the first night that we met. I MISS you so Much and I LOVE you more than words can say. I will find out Hon what happened to you that night if it takes me the rest of my life. Give Willie and Uncle Archie a hug for me and tell them I Love them since they bought us together. Give my Dad a big Hug and tell him I Love him and Miss him. Happy Anniversary sending you all my LOVE. Love Always your Wife xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxooooooooooo

ooooooo Keep watching over me

Well Daddy, three months have passed. I have been looking at old pictures lately and while they bring some comfort they make me so sad. I wish it was you I could look at instead of the pictures. I wish I could hear your voice and just talk to you. I miss you. Love you, Jessie

To my favorite Son In Law Tom, I miss having all the fun times we used to have and all the dumbs things we used to say and do. I miss calling you names at bingo because you wouldn't pay attention. You just went there to eat. I miss you going to get Bingo Balls for us. You said that we were bad but you was worse then us.I miss your steaks and your coffee that use to make. I just miss picking at you more then words can say. Just rembering all the good times that we had. You will never be forgotten in my heart. We will win the lottery and get you Justice. I love you always see you when I get to heaven. Be prepared. Love your crazy Mother in Law Maw xxxxxx00000000

Hi Daddy. I miss you so much. You are always on my mind and will always be in my heart. I was able to watch the video from my wedding and I am so thankful you were able to walk me down the aisle. I will treasure that moment and our father daughter dance forever. I keep waiting for the phone to ring or for you to stop by and it is extremely difficult to realize that it will not happen. I hope you know how much I love you. I know you are still watching over me even if you are not physically here. You lit our path on our way home from West Virginia after your funeral with the huge full moon for the whole ride home, not to mention the snowstorm we got for your viewing here in Quakertown. It seems as if everything I see, hear or do remind me of you. I don’t know if we will ever know what happened that night which is so hard to comprehend. I just pray you are happy and in a better place. I am going to try to keep going and make you proud of me. I don’t ever see the pain of losing you leaving me but please know it is because I love you so much. You will be in my heart forever. I love and miss you so much. Love your little girl, Jessie

I am Tom's mother, his death has hurt me and the family and all is friends so bad. There is no love like a mothers love and no loss that can be felt than the loss of a child. No mother should ever out live her son.Tom was a loving and caring son and showed me that love all the time.He is always on my mind, and I will not be satisified until I know who killed my son. Tom had 5 brothers and 2 sisters he loved so much. He called us all and would talk for hours. He lived so far away this was he way of keeping in touch.Thank you all for your cards and letters they are all so greatly appreciated. Tom is with the Lord now but I will always love and miss him. He was a wonderful son.

Love, Mom

Our family always enjoyed hanging around with Tom and his family during Quakertown Panthers midget and high school football games that our boys played in. He was a kind, gentle man who always seemed to have a good word for everyone. Rest in peace old friend.

Even though I haven't seen Tom for a couple years I remember playing with Jessie in the yard and at her house and how he use to laugh at us being goofy. I remember calling him dad and how he use to make me feel like a part of their family. My deepest sympathy to the whole family.

Jessica and Tom,

We are very sad that someone so special as your dad is gone. I remember when you were young and played in the yard with Stacy, how he watched you with pride! He treated Stacy as his own and you could tell who was special in his heart. My prayers are with you.

We’ve known Tom through our daughters since they were in grade school. We have all become a family. I could see the love he had for everyone he knew. We had not seen too much of Tom in the past few years, but remember him as a loving and caring person. We will never forget.

Our sympathy and love goes out to his family,

Love,

Although we've only known Tom for the last 2 years, we quickly became very close after working together with him for more than 6 months. I have never met a more caring and upbeat person. Tom quickly became part of our family and our children relished his visits, especially Koti, our foster child - who Tom paid special attention to.



We will all miss Tom - especially his laughter!

My deepest sympathy to all Tom's family. Although I had not seen Tom for many years I often think back to the days when we played together at the little two room school in Sanger, WV.

I know Tom will be missed greatly by his family and friends and again I want to offer my condolences.
