My prayers goes out to the Flowers family... TJ was the funniest and craziest, and loudest person I knew. I always remember how he was always fighting with his brother Emil, and then his mother coming out of the room with a broom. I also remember when TJ got excited when my son Javier started walking in front of his house, my son is now 18 years old and will be 19 in October, I can't believe that I knew TJ for that long... I always remember that song he use to sing all the time, "you remind me of my jeep", I remember how he use to dance crazy, he was such a comedian... He was at the hospital with Mary when my sister Jackie, gave birth to her son Carlos, who is now 17 years old. We've known TJ for a long time now and I can't believe he is gone. May God be with all of his kids, parents, and brothers.... Us Perez's will never forget you..

Love, Jo-Ann Perez-Nunez

You are in my thoughts and prayers and will always be. You are and will always be a blessing to anyone you meet. Your relationship with TJ was a beautiful thing to see over the years. You will always be his most cherished "real love of his life". Anyone he ever met knew how much he loved his Mom and what you meant to him. He said it best "My Mom taught me everything I know even how to cook". I am so grateful to have known him. He taught me a lot of things and even how to cook some of your recipes. I have lots of memories of him and will cherish those.

Tati, Tyler and Justin you meant the world to him and you guys know how much he loved you. Hold on to all those memories in the days to come. He is with you always and forever!

"All my love! All my life!" TJ Flowers


I love you all!
