Tommy:



We know you are o.k. because you are with God now, but oh how we will truly miss you ordering carry out every night. I think about when we use to cook and Tony would come over and get you a plate. Sitting on our front porch will never be the same. Just the fact of watching Tony help you get from one step to another (smile).



We're not going to weep, because to be absent from the body is to be present with the lord. You are in good hands becuase you have joined Uncle Mike, Tim and Marcus, who were definitely the soldiers on the block.



Rest in peace.

Tommy,

I cannot beleive you are gone. I know that i have only known you for a few years but, those years have been unforgettable. The last time i spoke with you we were excited about going to cancun and i was going to bring you the papers. I had no idea that would be the last time i spoke to you. I will miss how everything i would say you would always make a joke out of it. I am sad that you will not be joining us in cancun but i am happy because i know that you are in a better paradise then earth can ever compete with. God has called you home to be with Tym and Marcus. I know you are smiling down on us and will continue to do so until we are able to see you again. I will miss coming to the basement with keisha, april, kelly and lun just to see what you were doing. I will hold these memories close to my heart and you are 2 Good 2 be 4gotten. I love you and will see you again someday.



Much Love,

Tommy-I am totally lost for words. But I will not question God’s work. All I can do is, remember all the good times that we had on Kemp Mill Road. I will always remember your “banging fried potatoes” and how we used to watch and laugh at I Love Lucy. . I think about how we used to watch boxing (Tommy Herans & Sugar Ray Leonard) in fact, that was your nickname from me “Tommy Hearns” and your nickname to me was “Donna Hearns”. When we were leaving the cookout, I said bye Tommy Hearns and you said buy Donna Hearns. When I saw you at the cookout last month, I had no idea that would my last time seeing you. You promised me that you were going to come to my wedding. But that’s okay, at least I got a chance to hug and kiss you, which I’m going to hold on to. When you sent your son over to me at the cookout with roses, I was so touched. In fact, I just threw them away a few weeks ago. I see that you still have your way of being a “prankster”, you always were. My heart is filled with sadness because I lost my “GOOD BUDDY” On the other hand, my heart is filled with joy because I know that God has sent his angel down to pick up another angel and for that, I gained a nephew (Little Tom). Our conversation at the cookout was about Tim. Well my buddy, you’re with your brother now. I am full of tears now, so, until we meet again, RIP Tommy Hearns and I will see you again.

I love you,

Donna Cash (AKA) Donna Hearns.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. May God comfort and minister to your hearts as your go through the grieving process. Romans 8:38-39

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.



Love,

Tommy,



God has called you home and now you are in a better place. The last time I saw you was over a year, you still had that lovely smile and personality. I will miss you.

hey dad i miss you, and my mom is ok, but i am crushed because you are gone. i will always remember you and the things you taught me. when i grow up i want to be just like you or better than you. I am going to make you proud of me. Since you gone now, i am the man of the family. Even though it hurts that you are gone, i have to be strong for the family and always keep my head up. Everytime i walk by the wall outside that they dedicated to you, i cry inside. But I got to be strong for my mother. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH DAD. And i know you loved me and is watching over me. So, until we meet again, I am going to say Goodbye.

Words can not express the way I feel. Part of me is filled with joy and the other part filled with sadness. Tommy was and will always be a wonderful friend. No matter what the situation was he found humor in everything he talked about. I am missing him so much. The joy he brought to my life and always being there when I called upon him. Tommy, I love you and I miss you, I miss you, I miss you. We will see one another again. We will talk and laugh just like the old days. Until we see each other I will hold you close in my heart big boy and only share a tear of joy for you.



Love you always,

Trenise, Antonio and Jaylen
