One of the worst days of my life was losing you. Goodbyes are devastating for me...And yet you walk with me all the time! I can't express how much I love your presence. My big brother, my joker our love of music! You are ever present and I am ever grateful for your guidance.
Always Love,
Kimberly

Honestly...what to say when you are so often with me now. More than when you were walking these plains...I do miss your insatiable laugh, your joie de vivre and your WTF attitude and our hours upon hours of music listening and discovering, our philosophical talks...I feel you now...so much wiser, calmer and peaceful and all knowing. It's all about love...still and forever...you constantly searching for it...me trusting it...when the entire time it's just about you loving you...I love you

To the entire Carr family, we still miss Tom and think of him often. He was a truly wonderful man and amazingly kind and compassionate. I think I laughed more with Tom than any other human being on this planet. He was truly a gift to all of us.

Thinking of my dear friend Tom whose life touched mine in immeasurable ways.
I of course miss his humor but what I miss most of all is his love.
Simply put, Tom was a sweet man who gave freely and without condition.
I'll will miss you always my dear friend and I hope that your children are well and thriving.
With much gratitude,

Tom, it has been 10 years since your passing. I think of your fondly and remember all the great times together in the 80's. As time passes, I am grateful to have known you and spend quality time with you. I am moving up to Lake Havasu and remember the fun times we had there and the kindness of your dad and family. You made my life better because of your friendship. I look forward to giving you a big hug some day as I make my passage to heaven and I am pleased to see you again.
May god be with you, your girls and family.

To my dear friend Tom.
There are many things I miss about you. Number one on the list is your loving friendship. When I look at the pictures provided by this guest book my heart fills up with joy and sadness at the same time. Outside my window the wind is blowing and the rain is falling reminding me of the continual flow of this process we call life.
Because it is our nature things will always change / Impermanence is sacred just why I can’t explain
Sometimes tears must fall
People passing by may never come to stay / Like a pigeon on a railing too soon they fly away
Sometimes tears must fall
Something gonna take you away boy
Sweep you right off your feet make someone weep
And your tears through the years / make it clear that you’re here / and alive
With love to you all,
Drew Cole

Daddy,
Thinking about you more and more everyday.
I wish you could be here to see Tay and I now. I think you'd be proud.
Spending a lot of time with grandma, lately. Last night at Taylors singing performance Mom and grandma noticed how I have your fingers. Almost made me cry.
I bet you're up there havin a few laughs with Grandpa Kimo and Grandpa Tom.
I love you with all my heart and miss you with even more than that.
Xoxo
You're daughter,

Tommy, thinking of you and your Dad Jim, and Stepdad Tom in heaven together, and missing you all.
October 20, 2010
To my dear friend Tom,
I just learned this morning about your passing. ..the last time we spoke was on your birthday in 2004. As you know we shared the same birthday month…it was our ritual to call each other to catch up. Twenty- two birthday calls in a row and then they stopped. We fell out of touch. Three thousand miles can do that to friendships, even the best ones.
We shared so many incredible times together and I was privileged to be included in many of your family’s gatherings…there was Kimie and Amie going off to college…weddings…and dinners at your mom and Tom’s house as well as many gatherings at restaurants around LA. What I remember and miss the most is the laughter…always the laughter.
After our last conversation you lived to celebrate only two more birthdays…and I missed them. I’m so sorry…You deserved better. You were a great friend and I’ll never forget you.
With love,
Drew Cole

Hi everyone reading these memory pages,
I miss Tom so much my life has had a cloud in the picture since he left me that cold morning. I can't get that day out of my head. Sometimes the cloud is off to the side and I feel like the pieces are put back together then I find myself alone and know you were my soulmate and you are gone. Today I read what my kids wrote and they are missing the father they never really had too. I miss your family and the girls, I moved into La Costa resort to hold up until the recession passes. We now have 4 grand babies and I miss Bella too. Sending love to you in the heavens and the family which is always still close to my heart. This weekend I am going where we took our first vacation together beautiful Santa Barbara. You got mad at me for buying too many clothes but we still had fun! as always!
Blessings to all in 2010
Love you and yours,
Cheryl Lynn

Lorenzo and I went to a Crosby, Stills and Nash concert and I knew you were there rocking w/ me...I could feel you as if you and I were at one of the many concerts we went to throughout our youth...the music...the message...the communal experience...
I love and miss you...stay next to me for I feel you most when the music is grooving...

God, It's been years since ive written in this.... god ive wanted to but never got around to it and i feel just so terrible! but please know, daddy, i think about a million times everyday; no joke. Every time i think of you, i cry so hard. Mom says im becoming more and more like you everyday (in a good way<3) I listen to all your music now, even though i didnt quite understand it when i was little; i even fell inlove with The Who! i got a big poster of them a few weeks ago, my favorite songs are Who Are You, and Behind Blue Eyes. Im really getting creative these days, i absolutely LOVE painting and paint anything i can!! I see Grandma alot these days cuz we moved to the desert, Jason lives with her now so i see alot of him too.... havent seen the boys in about a year but i hear Eithen is quite the role model now. I've not heard much about kimmys boys but im sure theyre growing up wonderfully too! Tay moved backed to Phoenix to be with her boyfriend, Kit. He's a good guy, i like him alot... your guyss attitudes are alot like.... great humor! my friend Andy lives with us now... shes basicaly part of the family... you'd like her... shes very worldly. Well daddy, I hope you'd be proud of me, who ive become... im sure you would. Im a great kid; not much of a handful like the rest these days, I've never once in my life even try to smoke anything, or go to parties... im a pretty good kid. Have you been coming to me in my dreams? cuz i've been talking to you in them about everyother night now... you keep on giving me all of this life advice. I'd take it if i could remember it in the morning...haha. well daddy, i dont have much going on these days so i figure ill be writing in this alot now! *making it my homepage*
I Love you and miss you
always and forever;
Hailey Kristina Carr<33

Tom, I think about you all the time. You will always be in my thoughts. I know god is taking care of you, now. We had such a good time together (1978 to the middle 1980's) with Jannie and Jeanee. I think about your daughter and pray that she will enjoy life as much as you did. Although, or lives got busy.. I never stopped thinking about you and will continue to do so for the rest of my life... Some day, we will get together again in heaven.
God Bless you and your family!

Hi Tom, If you were here we would be close to our 4 year anniversary. I cant belive sometimes that you are really above me rather than beside me. When I sleep I still belive sometimes your there by my side. I know you have been in my Blackberry phone, you love to auto dial your parents at odd hours! Cute! I just had a week of fires all around me, making me feel the same vulnerable self I was the day you departed. May all your angels around you give you a hug from me.
Love, Cheryl

We took lots of flowers and the little boys, Dante and Enzo picked flowers and decorated your stone...We all love you so much, and miss you always..Your Mom

When God sends forth a tiny soul
To learn the ways of earth
A mother's love is waiting here
We call this wonder birth.
When God calls home a little soul
And stills a fleeting breath
A Fathers love is waiting there
This too is birth, not death.
So glad you live twice!
Happy ReBirthday

Remember your laugh,
Remember your face,

I will hold you in my heart for ever, and ever, and I will see you someday in heaven, and we will laugh and talk and hold each other again.
Until that time, I carry your heart in my heart.

DEAR TOM: I HAVE BEEN SO NEGLECTFULL IN WRITING TO YOU AND TELLING YOU HOW MUCH I MISS AND LOVE YOU. YOUR ABSENCE FROM OUR LIFE IS SO FAR FROM REALITY BECAUSE YOUR PRESENCE IS CONSTANTLY IN OUR HEARTS. WE KNOW THAT YOU ARE IN A HEALTHIER AND A MORE PEACEFULL PLACE.
YOU WOULD BE SO PROUD TO SEE YOUR BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTERS GROW INTO SUCH GORGEOUS YOUNG LADIES. WE LOVE THEM AS
MUCH AS YOU DID FROM THE FIRST DAY THEY CAME INTO OUR LIVES. WE WILL NEVER STOP CARING FOR THEM.
YOUR DEAR MOTHER AND I ARE FACING A TIME IN OUR LIFE WHERE WE ARE CLOSER THEN EVER.
WE HOPE AND PRAY THAT SOME DAY WE WILL ALL BE TOGETHER IN THAT WONDERFUL PLACE THAT MEANS EVERLASTING PEACE AND LOVE FOR ALL ETERNITY.
DAD, TOM.

Tommy my love,
Taylor and Hailey were with Dad and I in the desert last week. I wsh you were here to see how amazing they are. Both of them are so talented. Hailey writes the most beautiful songs, and she has a very funny since of humor (just like you). I really believe she can write anything she wants, music, poems, or even a book. She writes from her heart and is not afread to put her thoughts and feelings on paper, she has a wonderful gift.
Taylor is so lovley, and she is growing up so fast. She is very protective of her younger sister. She has a beautiful heart, I really love that about her. she still loves to sing and dance and is still thinking about acting. Being a photographer has also become a passion, and she is very good at it.
Both of your daughters (my Grandaughters) are multi-talented. I know you are very proud and I know you are watching over them. Hold them close to you my love, they still need you, and lead them where they need to go in this life.
I miss you so, I carry your heart in my heart.
I love you my sweet son,
Mom
April 15, 2007
Daddy,
It's so hard to believe that you are not here with us anymore Daddy! I know you are because I feel you with me all the time! Even when I'm in school. Sometimes I'll just get a feeling that your there with me guiding me through the day! I miss you so much! Somedays I can't help but be mad, and I'm sorry for that, but other days it's like I forget all about it and just go on with my life, because if we think about it everyday and evey moment of the day our lives would be miserable! I love you so much! I hope you and Anna Nicole Smith are having a party up there together! lol...Wow, a party with Anna Nicole and Thomas James! Wow, thats one heck of a party! LOL
I love you soo much and everyday I notice I start acting like you by being crazy, and telling the kinda jokes you would tell that keep people laughing teill they drop!
I love you,
Your daughter, Hailey

Hi Daddy,
We went and visted you yesterday. It was nice to be over there. Its still unbelievable. Its always unbelievable. I wish you were here to see how Hailey and I have grown. Easter is comming up on Sunday, i sure wish you were here in body, but i guess i can settle with spirit. Everytime i ever have a doubt in my mind that you're still with us, you deffinitly change that around immediately. I know you are always here. I'm looking at some pictures from when you were much younger, before Hailey or I ever existed. What a stud. hehe. But anyways... I love you so much and i miss you so much. This is all so weird, i still feel like your just away for a little while. I guess compared to how short life is, it is only a little while until i see you again.
Talk to you soon
love always and forever

Dear Tommy,
Writing this letter is so hard for me to do even though it has been over a year since you left us. I haven't been able to put into words how much you meant to me or how much I love and miss you because there are no words that can describe how I feel. You were my first born child, and I have 49 years of memories of you which I cherish.
I'd give anything to have just one more chance to see you, give you a hug and tell you how much I love you. I miss your phone calls ( sometimes daily ) and jokes, and watching you navigate thru life. When you would get a little off course I tried the best I could do to help guide you in the right direction. Right Grasshoppa ?
You left us much too soon, but you left us with your beautiful daughters Taylor and Hailey, who will always light our lives and keep your memory shining. I can feel in my heart and soul that you are watching over and know how well your girls are doing even after having to deal with losing you. Well "Grasshoppa" get ready for some real challenges of watching over your girls because Taylor's going to be ready for her first car soon and Hailey's not too far behind. Do I have to even mention BOYFRIENDS ? Sorry "ol" dad / Grandpa's on Maui and can only call or Email for you.
Love you and I will be seeing you on the other side....
oxoxoo Dad

It's so hard without you. I know now it is not going to get easier, people said it would, but it doesn't and it won't. You are my son and I will miss you every day of my life. The pain is just as fresh today as it was a year ago when you left us. i visit you every Sunday at your grave, it's as close as I can get. I need you, want you back, and miss you so much that my heart breaks again every day. Every day is painful without you.
I love you my tommy,

I recall everything we talked about that Friday evening a year ago- short talk compared to our usual- I was in a rush, getting up to the lake for Garret's birthday party. Wasn't until Sunday evening when I got home to many messages on the phone...my world changed, just like that- you went on
It's different without you TC- every day, miss you every day.
So last Sunday I went to see a blues man- drank some Crown- I'm glad I did that- just wanted to talk to you- wish you were here, how I wish you were here

To all who remember Tom - family and friends - here are some thoughts that I hope will help:
What the heart has once owned and had, it shall never lose.
—Henry Ward Beecher
The dark today leads into light tomorrow;
There is no endless joy,
...and yet no endless sorrow.
—Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Life is eternal; and love is immortal;
and death is only a horizon; and a horizon
is nothing save the limit of our sight.
—Rossiter Worthington Raymond
For each thorn, there's a rosebud...
for each twilight — a dawn...
for each trial — the strength to carry on,
For each stormcloud — a rainbow...
for each shadow — the sun...
for each parting — sweet memories
when sorrow is done.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson
Memory nourishes the heart, and grief abates.
—Marcel Proust
Look for the rainbow
that gracious thing,
made up of tears and light.
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Though nothing can bring back the hour
of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower,
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind.
—William Wordsworth
Soft as the voice of an angel,
Breathing a lesson unheard,
Hope with a gentle persuasion
Whispers her comforting word:
Wait till the darkness is over,
Wait till the tempest is done,
Hope for the sunshine tomorrow,
After the shower is gone.
—Alice Hawthorne
All souls are thine; we must not say
That those are gone who pass away —
From this our world of flesh set free.
We know them living unto thee.
—John Ellerton
This world is not conclusion;
A sequel stands beyond,
Invisible, as music,
But positive, as sound.
—Emily Dickinson
Earth hath no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.
—Thomas Moore
Like a bird
Singing in the rain,
Let grateful memories
Survive in time of sorrow.
—Robert Louis Stevenson

Dearest Love,
yesterday, January 21st was the day you left us, one year ago..We all went to the cemetery, we took beautiful flowers and then Cheryl made a yummy lunch for everyone..You would have loved it. Everyones thoughts, prayers, and love was all for you my sweet boy.
Memories and pictures, thats what we have now, pictures of you playing with your girls, your sisters, your family and friends, cutting the Thanksgiving turkey with me at your side. Memories and pictures, I thank God for them, but they can never take the place of having you here with me, getting your big hugs and sweet kisses...This was the longest, shortest year of my life. I miss you Tommy, the light that you left on this earth will shine forever in my heart. Always and Forever,
Your Mom

To my dearest Tom, We celebrated your birthday this weekend in San Diego. My Mom and I went to breakfast and raised grasses to you!
I miss you in my heart everyday as I try and understand Gods lessons for me from our relationship. I remember last year when we adopted Bella Luna for your birthday and you led everyone at the table to belive we were having a baby vs a puppy with the new addition to our family. I thought the kids were going to die, and then laughed until they cried. Rick and Don called and we all miss you and have you in our conversations, prayers and hold you into the light. I miss our life together and know your spirit is with me and your family.
Love,
Cheryl

Today we went to the place where you lay, we took fresh potted flowers and a Happy Bithday Banner. I know you were there with us, we all love you and miss you so much, every day is painful without you. WE CARRY YOU IN OUR HEARTS, WE CARRY YOUR HEART IN OUR HEARTS.
HAPPY 50 MY DEAREST LOVE, HOW COULD I EVER FORGET, YOU AND I WERE THERE TOGETHER, AND I WAS THE FIRST TO SEE YOUR BEAUTIFUL FACE.

Happy Birth Day Daddy, I love you so much papa...I miss you so much and so does everyone! I'm in an after School Program on Modays, and it's a music Club.
Well this week at music club my teacher played a 'Beatles' song that you always used to play in the car and in the house, Andrea and I started crying. Everytime I listen to a 'Beatles' or 'Green Day' song I think of you and it makes my cry sometimes!
I miss you so much!
I'll see you in time my wonderful daddy!!!
With Much Love,
Hailey Kristina Carr
50....WOW...Happy Birth Day, And we all think of you all the time!!!

Happy Birthday Tommy! Know that all your friends are thinking of you today with smiles on their faces. Donna is out of town with her horses and dedicated her "ride" to you today. You have been so close to my heart this month. I have made a picture board honoring your life for the class reunion in a few weeks. I also am making a wreath for you to be displayed Sat. night. Many will be signing your guest book which I will give to your Dad afterwards. Oh yes, we are going to be celebrating your life and the beautiful person that you are. We have a mini movie that Kimo supplied for us to play Sat. night as well, so you see my friend, you will be close to all our hearts. We love you Tommy! Hear our prayers come Sat. at the reunion for our moment of silence just for you. You are so missed.
With Love,

BIG 5-0 !! Many down here are celebrating you dear friend! Instead of funny e cards and such, you will be recieving the purest of Love sent on the wings of the Spirit. I know it must give you great joy, in the very quiet times of the night when we lie awake with broad grins across tear stained faces.
Thank you for occasionally reaching down and touching those who love you so.
Tomorrow they will dedicate your tree at Hardie Park, right next to Rolly's, and on your birthday!!
Give ol' Rolly a big hug!
So glad you live twice!
I love you my friend.

To the entire Carr family, loving thoughts and prayers are with you all. Tommy, we will all be thinking of you at the Multi Reunion in Havasu this Oct. I'm sure we will have a few laughs when we tell your high school stories. I have many photo albumns of you with your huge smile and your trade mark curly hair, the days in Havasu when we would all be at Steam Boat Bay and you would try to teach me to ski, and want to scream! Thank God your Dad didn't drown me and always came back around in the boat. I know your beautiful daughters miss you so, your Dad sent me a mini video of their trip to Maui, it was beautiful. I think of you every day and I know you are in God's hands. We shall all see you again my friend. Love, Gina xoxoxox

Dear Tommy -
I have been thinking about you a lot lately. I keep hearing Five For Fighting's new song THE RIDDLE (a song basically about what it he meaning of life) and I still remember when you handed me their last CD years ago in Palm Desert and said" these guys are great!" You just found them and knew about them a year or two before they became popular. Whenever I hear their music I think of you. Taylor and Hailey look great. It was great to see them both this summer...and please always let them know I am here for them. Ryan talks a lot about you...a least once a week he talks about you, that you died, that you are in the sky...he also wants to know if you smoked and that is why you died...I tell him that you did the best you could to take care of yourself, and that you are always around us and we can talk to you whenever we want. I miss you. Love, Amy

Hello My Sweet son,
Taylor was here last week, and we had such a wonderful time, of course we talked about you and we worked on the book about your life with your daughters, your family, and your friends. Taylor is a wonderful girl, and she is so talented, I know you are watching over her and Hailey and I know you see everything they are doing and always will.
Thank you for visiting me again, I know what you are saying, and I will try to do better. I just miss you with all my heart and soul, so don't expect too much from me right away, it will take me alittle time, but I will make you proud. For right now the ache in my heart is unbearable, I know you are trying to help me, and I do keep that in mind. I love you and miss you with all my heart and will until the day I can join you and see your beautiful face, my sweet, wonderful, funny, boy. Rest in peace darling and please visit me often.
You are my Love,
Mother

My Darlling Son,
It is not getting easier, I miss you more with each passing day. I am trying but it just is not possible to have a world without you in it. You are in my heart and soul and thoughts every hour of every day. Your little Hailey was with me for a week, we had so much fun, and of course we talked about you a lot and worked on a scrap book about your life...Hailey is still talking about becoming a fashion designer, so we visited the Fashion Design school here in LA, she seemed to love it. It was so wonderful having her here, I see so much of you in her. She is so determined to have a successful life, she is smart and funny with your since of humor. I know you are watching over all of us, I saw you for an instant last night standing next to my bed, so I know you are with me and with Taylor and Hailey and all of us. Rest my sweet boy, it's time for you to rest.
Love,
Mom

To my dearest Tom,
I was in Montana visiting our grandbabies and I missed you so much I could hardly breathe. McLean reassured me that you would be there if you could be. Pretty wise for a 2 year old. I have had a very difficult time as of late, I miss you and your daughters VERY much and I am coming to terms trying to understand my emotions which sometimes come out like anger. Bella lives in a new home and I know it was the right thing to do but I regret that I was unable to manage her little life myself. I miss your hugs, your phone calls, laughter...your family has been there for me 110% for that I feel so blessed. Because of them I am not in a black hole myself. Roz was also very concerned about the Romeo and Juliet story, she was sure I would want to join you strait away. I am learning so much and hope to understand with more clairity soon, how I waited my whole life for you, and now you are already gone. May you be in peace now my love.
Always yours,
Cheryl

My Darling Son,
Every day that passes I miss you more, I have your pictures in every room, they comfort me in some way, The pictures remind me of all the beautiful memories, I kiss them, hold them and have gentle thoughts of you....I wanted to tell you how happy I am that you had your last 2 years with Cheryl, your true soul mate. I know you were always amazed that you were lucky enough to find each other, she made you so happy, and as you said, calm and secure inside, what a wonderful blessing. Cheryl is staying close to us now, she tells me wonderful stories about you and you with her family. God gave you Cheryl at just the right time and it calms my heart knowing how content and happy you were with your life and with your daughters, You even got to be a Grandfather to Cheryl"s Grandchildren, you loved that. You were trying so hard to be the best Tommy for all of us, I love you for the strength and courage you had, It gives me a kind of peace knowing that you were so happy....Your smle and beautiful heart lives within me, I carry you with me everyday, every second, you are my beautiful son, always warm and loving with me and always funny, no one could make me laugh the way that you could, I was so blessed to have you, and as always I will run and play with you in my dreams. I miss you so, but I will see you again, I know you believe that and so do I.
always,
Your Mom

I can't believe this man is gone! Tom, you made me laugh so much in class at LHHS! You were such a fun guy!! God must have needed a new jester in the court! Will miss you and think of you as always there. Hope I make it up there to clown around again. Hugs to your family. Please get St. Peter to look the other way when I get to the gates!

My Dear Sweet Brother,
I am still in shock and disbelief. There are so many ways in which I miss you. Your phone calls, e-mails, e-cards, joke pictures and especially your explosive belly laugh. We have yet to exhaust our philisophical discussions..Oh..Tommy I miss you terribly and desperately want you back here. I just want to hug you one more time and tell you I love you and how proud I am of you. I have never been able to say good-bye and can't seem to start now...Maybe it's never good-bye..only au revoir.
I promise I will help Taylor and Haley fulfill their dreams in any way I can. They can always count on me to be there for them.
I want to thank all the guiding spirits and angels that helped make your transition a sweet and loving one. Tommy, you are in my heart every second..Know that I always loved you...and am still loving you ..your sister..Kimberly

When searching for the thoughts that would put things into perspective, the Pastor in church on Sunday made it easy when he put "Seven Magnificent Life Principles" in the sermon. As we have to remember the celebration of life for TC. I would like to share this with you.
*Treasure relationships while you have them. You don't know how long they'll be around.
*Hold possessions and people loosely. They don't belong to you. They belong with you for a season, but that season may end. We have to let God lead us along our own paths.
*When the season is over, be thankful for the good times, the joys, and the laughter.
*Never be to proud to say, "Please help me."
*Choose wisely the memories you will keep.
*Give each other two rooms: Room to fail and room to grow. Growth will be based on how we handle someone's error or failure that hurts us.
*Be comfortable with "home" even if "home" means just you and Jesus.
Tommy,
From your old Lake Havasu City friend, I will see you at the big "Mudd Shark Beach" in the sky. I will look forward to seeing your beautiful smile that I will hold in my heart until then.
With Love, Terry Hunt (Behmer) Ward
