Tommy always had some kind of smile on his face; happy, silly, mischievous. His smiles will be missed. I hope those are the images burned in the hearts of his family and friends, not sadness or grief. My heart is with all of you.

Tommy was always so full of life, it's hard to think of him not being here anymore. I pray that he is at peace now and waiting for the time that we will rejoin him in the hereafter. I ask Almighty God to grant us all comfort and understanding during this sad occassion. I wish I could be there in person to attend the funeral, but I will be with you in spirit. Your loving cousin, Nancy

I am so sorry for your family's loss. I will always remember babysitting 'little' Tommy when he was just an infant. My children always spoke of Tommy with love and affection for their cousin.
