Thomas J. "Tommy" Maniaci

Kay, Jamie and Family,
Really don't know how to express my feelings when hearing of your loss. Tommy was such a sweet boy. Please know my prayers are with you during this time of sorrow and grief.

So sorry for your loss! Sincerely, Robin Schulte-Bright

Very sorry for the loss. Tommy had such a sweet soul.

Tommy was such a good, sensitive, loving child. As a dear friend to our kids, Vinnie, Joey and Johnny, as a child, he and his dad Tom, helped in their time of need when one of them was lost. I will always remember his smile and his spirit of sacrifice for others. He gave up candy for lent, even on Sunday, because he wanted to make an extra sacrifice. I remember taking him, with our sons, to my sister's house in Florissant. The kids were playing pool in the basement. He put his arm in the hole to get the pool ball but then couldn't remove his arm out of the hole. We prayed and prayed to get an inspiration on how to remove his arm from the hole and just as the fire department arrived, out ot came. I remember how trustful and peaceful he was, even though he was afraid. Dear Mother Mary, please wrap your loving arms around this dear child, Tommy, and obtain a beautiful place in heaven for him.
