Thomas was always so thoughtful and sweet. His intelligence was impressive; the topics he’d bring up that interested him weren’t run of the mill at all. He was brilliant in every sense of the word. And I don’t think anyone had a mean word to speak of him. When I’d check in just to see how he was doing, he always made it a point to thank me. He really appreciated small gestures like that.
I’m thankful for the times we had together and sad there won’t be any more, but I hope he’s in a better place. I love you, Thomas. It’ll be my first birthday without you to tell happy birthday to too. Rest In Peace.
Don and I are thinking of all of you at this most difficult time

I am So sorry to hear of your loss. I can’t imagine how you must feel. I only know you, Jan, and I am praying for your comfort. As you know, I have a son the same age and I am constantly worrying about him. Words can not express how sad I feel for you. Kisses and hugs for you, dear Jan!
Jan,
Bill and I just learned of Thomas’ passing. We were sorry to hear that. He was always such a sweet boy and a good friend of David’s. I hope you have found some measure of peace knowing what a lovely young man he was.
