Whenever anyone talks about Tommy, the person he was, or things he did, there is never a single time anyone can say he wasn't the most sweetest, loving, amazing man.
A son.
A soulmate.
A father.
A friend.
When we look back at this journey, and when we think about his battle...no one will ever be able to deny how strong and brave and relentless he fought for us. He was a warrior.
Our precious Tommy.
Tommy's fight against cancer has ended, but his memory lives on in us, forever.
Surrounded by his daughters, mom, and dearest friends...he peacefully left this world. As quickly as falling asleep.
We were able to give him everything he wanted.
Being at home. Being comfortable. Being at peace.
Thomas Michael Willrich 1987-2023.
"And even though I know how very far apart we are, it helps to think we might be wishin' on the same bright star...
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby, it helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky...
Somewhere out there, if love can see us through
Then we'll be together somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true."
Tommy encompassed everything positive in every aspect, and for everything he was, he deserves so much more. So in his honor, we wish to celebrate what an amazing man he was.
Join us and toast to a life that was lived and loved.
A celebration of Tommy will be held January 20, 2024, from 9am-9pm.
This event will welcome those who wish to visit Tommy and our families, by invitation only. It will be an open concept, where you can come and go at your convenience. Light food and drinks will be served.
