We just got the call. He passed away about 11 this morning. I am too shaken up to talk about it right now.


Rest peacefully, my dear friend. I will miss you horribly.

I am so very sorry! I know how hard it is to watch someone die from cancer.
As hard as it is - at least he isn't suffering any longer. He was very blessed to have had you as a friend in his life!

Just try to take things a day at a time....eventually, the pain will ease when you are ready to do so.

I am so sorry to read of Tommy's passing, but I'm so glad you got to see him before he passed away.

I am just sitting here bawling my eyes out.
I can't believe that he's gone. I knew when I saw him that he wasn't gonna be here much longer, but I hadn't expected that it would be this soon. I was planning on seeing him at least one more time, in spite of the pain it caused me to see him that way. But now hes' gone and I can't. I started thinking about all the times we spent together, like our special trip down to Galveston that we all took together, and how much fun we had. I'm wishing I would have spent more time with him before he became sick: now it's too late. I'm really gonna regret not spending that time with him now...

I'm sorry for babbling, y'all. This has affected me more than i thought it would.
He was so dear to me.

*hugs* Losing a dear friend is not easy. Just remember that he is no longer in pain, and that while you cannot physically touch him, he will always be a part of your heart. In time when you remember him, you will smile and only remember the good things.

It is so hard to lose someone so close, but keep knowing that he's not hurting anymore. If you need to talk, I'm here.

Tiff, I'm truly sorry. He sounds like such a special person and I know you loved him dearly.

His suffering is over, though that's only a small consolation. Hold on to the good memories of him, and share them with his family and other friends.

My friend, I am so sorry. I know you are hurting terribly. I pray that in time your memories will be sweet. As for regrets, I think we all have them when we know there are no more chances for us to spend time with our loved ones as they are now gone. Don't beat yourself up. Tommy knew your love for him. You were a dear friend and I am sure he felt your love and appreciated your friendship. Hugs.
