Todd and I used to work together at Applebees in Kenner, he was such a joy to work with and kept everyone laughing!!! I was in law school when he was in school and we both loved to talk about the law. He always had a opinion on what was right and wrong. Todd was a good person and a great man. I only spoke to him once since the hurricane, but he seemed very happy about rebuilding his house and helping to rebuild his community. I wish him peace in heaven and to his family, I wish God's comfort.

Todd was a great person. He was a great and dear friend of mine and will be deeply missed by everyone that knew him!

As a coworker of Todd's, it was only through our mutual love of animals that his true nature was eventually revealed and that was a person who was kind-hearted and compassionate. I have only recently begun to learn that there are very few things that can be said about a person and his time on this earth that ultimately matter more than these two qualities I found in Todd.

I send my deepest condolences to Todd's family and friends. He was an intelligent, kind, caring and generous person. But, most of all, he had a heart of gold. I will deeply miss my friend, who touched my life as well as every person he met. My prayers are with Todd, as well as with his family. May he rest in peace.

I would like to dedicate this poem to Todd. His life and his memory will never be forgotten.

"Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there; I did not die."
