It's been a while now and your still in our thoughts. It's still hard to believe that you and Jakers are gone. I was thinking it's about time for a trip to the river soon...
Hugs to the family!

My Uncle Tommy was the most talented man I know with the guitar. Some of my best memories as a child was at the river with my Dad, Grandma, Uncle Tommy and his friends and all their motorcycles. I will never forget when he played and sang Amazing Grace at my Grandmas funeral. If he had to go, I am glad he has been reunited with all our family that went before him.
Miss u Uncle Tommy!!

Four Candles for You

The first candle represents our grief.
The pain of losing you is intense.
It reminds us of the depth of our love for you.

This second candle represents our courage.
To confront our sorrow,
To comfort each other,
To change our lives.

This third candle we light in your memory.
For the times we laughed,
The times we cried,
The times we were angry with each other,
The silly things you did,
The caring and joy you gave us.

This fourth candle we light for our love.
We light this candle that your light will always shine.

We cherish the special place in our hearts that will always be reserved for you.
We thank you for the gift your living brought to each of us.

We love you.
We remember you

Words cannot express the sorrow I feel. T.J. was a very dear friend/brother for 30 years. I will miss sitting and listening to him pick his guitar and sing. He was one of kind and definately unique. The mold was broke when God made him. No more Sorrow and No more Pain now....Rest in Peace my friend....my brother! You were loved by many and will always remain in our hearts and memories forever. My heart is with all of his children and family and friends. Remember the good times! Love to you all!
