| Thank you seems like so little to say......When you've blessed our lives in such a wonderful way. |

| My husband, Don and I,� my children, Jennifer & Bobby would like to thank the community of OLOW, the teens, and staff for all of their love, support and prayers during the sudden and tragic loss of our youngest son, Tommy. It is hard to put into words what is in our hearts. The community of OLOW has been awesome during this difficult time. You have been there with a shoulder to cry on, a warm (much needed) hug, and prayers. You offered help in any way needed. You provided food for our family. Sent beautiful cards (we have read every one), flowers and gifts. You offered Masses in memory of our sweet Tommy. You provided awesome music at the funeral home and at the Mass. At the cemetery you had doves released as a sign of peace and hope. You also provided a wonderful luncheon for family and friends. Many of you did not know our son Tommy, however,� you were still there with your love and support. |

| I would like to share a little about our Tommy. Tommy loved life and in his (short) 18 years he lived his life to the fullest.� Tommy did not like to see me sad or to cry. He would want us to celebrate his life and who he was. I have been reflecting back on the past year and I think God has been preparing my family for this day. Tommy's last year has been awesome. We spent quality time together laughing, talking, and taking many fun day trips. He finally got a cell phone and a new truck (no more old conversion van). He went on some fun trips with his brother, and close friends. He spent hours talking and joking with his sister. He had a wonderful girlfriend, Rachel, for over two years. Tommy loved welding and that was his dream to have his own welding shop. He was a wonderful son, brother, boyfriend, and friend. He will be missed by those who knew him. |

| We are still in shock, and numb over the loss of our Tommy. It is still so hard to believe that he is gone. On Monday, October 20 we lost a piece of our heart. I can ask God why, but will not get the answer. I only know our lives were truly blessed when I gave birth to our son. Tommy was not ours, he was a child of God. I thank God for sharing Tommy with us for 18 years. I miss him so much. Even though Tommy is not here with us, he will live on in our memories and heart forever. We will make it through this difficult time one day at a time. We have our faith, God, our angel Tommy, family, friends, and the community of OLOW that will be here to help. Thank you again for your kindness, love, prayers, and generosity. You will be in our thoughts and prayers. |
