It is so hard to believe a year has passed already. I so enjoyed our morning conversations over breakfast at McDonald's and think of you often. You are truly missed dear friend.

WOULD YOU GIVE MAMA AND DADDY MY LOVE? IT SEEMS THAT MOST OF THOSE THAT I LOVE SO MUCH ARE ALL UP THERE TOGETHER..... I MISS ALL OF YOU SO MUCH! AND GIVE ALL THE FURBABIES A HUG FROM ME, TOMMY: CHINGY, NOEL, FINI, ITTY BITTY, PAPIHUAHUA, YOUR SWEET DOGGIE WHO DIED BEFORE HER TIME, AND ALSO THE SPECIAL FUR BABIES I HAD BEFORE WE MET.

BUT YOU ARE THE IMPORTANT ONE NOW, TOM. YOU ARE LOVED BY MANY, AND WILL BE MISSED BY MANY. I MISS YOU SO MUCH ALREADY. I DON'T NEED TO TELL YOU TO "TAKE CARE" OR "BE HAPPY," BECAUSE YOU'RE NOW WHERE ALL THE LOVE AND GOODNESS ARE. I'LL SEE YOU BEFORE TOO LONG, TOMMY. PLEASE ASK JESUS TO HELP ME STOP MISSING YOU SO MUCH.

My heart is heavy that we will no longer share chats over breakfast at McDonald's , watch music videos together, and share stories of our beloved pets. Cliff & I were so blessed to have you as a friend. We have fond memories to cherish of our visit to see you in Minneapolis and the "grand tour" you took us on sharing your memories of great times at Lake Minnetonka , going to The Mall of America, and visiting your parents gravesites . I know it was your desire to return "home" and I will find comfort in knowing your wish was granted , your pain is gone, and you are at peace.
