...an attest to one's character are often those that they leave behind...how much they are loved, respected, honored, and cherished...you can see all those things in someone's eyes when they look at a person......my cousin tom, was one of happiest, kind, caring, lovable people I know...so when life decided to hit him, the world became a little bit sadder...his family gathered around and even though there where tears there was also laughter; and that was him, he brought out the happiness...
...by the grace of God, this man touched my heart, just by living his life, my appreciation and love for him has grown ever so deeply in the last few days...
...his wife, his heart, which by the way he touched her, you knew she was the love of his life, a sadness about going forward and having to leave her; but at the same time giving her so much strength to go on; and his daughter, who if you close your eyes & listen to her laugh; you can hear him was his baby girl, one of his greatest treasures, and she adored him, and when she talked to him or about him, you knew that was her superhero...his heart was abundantly filled with love for her; and his son, who every time he saw him walk in a room, walk on stage, or heard his voice, his face lit up like he was receiving the best gift, just by being his dad, so proud and filled with love for him, his heart beamed with pride & joy at his son, you knew it was his other greatest treasures...
...he lived for them...as they did him...
his world was simple yet extraordinary and that was evident by those that filled the rooms in those last few days...those that knew him maybe for a few minutes and those that knew him for decades & now had a void in their heart because this man who had come into their lives had left an everlasting impression on their hearts, touched them in such an amazing way that by knowing him they had received a blessing from God, the gift of him...
...so as our hearts are crying we wrap our arms around those that he loved, hold them a little while longer and say a silent prayer in thanksgiving for tom's life; knowing that who he is remains forever etched in our memory and in our hearts...

...& that every time andrea laughs, or alex walks on stage, or kim is smiling...that is Tom reminding us just how much he loves us and will always be an angel in the sky...
...so tom i'll be seeing you, all my love...
