Hello Tj

      I find myself at a loss of words when I try and put my feelings into words. I know I miss you, and I know that I wish I could still call you every now and then to see what was new in your exciting life. I make a movie reference and nobody knows what I'm  talking about and I think to myself, "oh ya that was an inside joke between me and Tj." I heard a Rob Zombie song the other day and just remembered how you loved that album until Ricky would play it and you thought it wasn't cool anymore. I watch The Last Action Hero in a hotel on det and remember TJ had the album on cd. Pots and pans? Nobody knows what that means. (but you do) I'm all over the place writing this and I'm not sure where it's headed. I guess I want you to know that even though I may not write a message on Facebook or something like that I still think of you all the time because I see you in the movies I watch the music I listen to and places I go.

I have lived in California now almost the same amount of time I lived in Florida. That fact seems to make me sad sometimes. Maybe because I feel this isn't my home. Or maybe because this is my home now. It's hard to think of a home that you were not apart of. Your house was my second home for many years and I always felt welcome. I guess to call a place home that doesn't have that second home in it is what gives me that feeling.

    Today is always a sad day. But talking to you like this feels good. 

TJ I have been think of you more than the nrmal. I saw this picture and it once again reminded me of how much you loved cloud watching and the thunder. Maybe it was you calling to me.. I love you son and you will always be close to my heart and always in my thoughts. Even though people think it has been long enough. How long is the given time to forget you once had a son who you love very much and now is gone till i meet you in another time and place. I wait for that day than maybe I will undersatnd all this madness.

My Heart goes out to you and your family.  My Prayers our with you.  I lost my son, Andrew on June 10,2009. He was borned on August 21,1985.  I know there is nothing that I can say to make you feel better because I am going thru the same pain of losing my son.  May the Lord be with you and guide you until you meet again, that is my hope and prayer.

Kathy, Tom and family,
I wish there was something to take away the pain.  In time the lovely memories will help ease the pain.  But, my heart breaks for you all.
Love, Becky

For such a short life TJ had a beautiful one. My heart goes out to a Loving mom.

I was just remembering the time that I was walking to the bus stop after getting my license renewed at the DMV on Southern and Military TJ just happened to turn the corner right as I was crossing the street. He literally stopped right in the middle of the road, opened his passenger side door and started calling my name! He's screaming Carolin! Carolin! is that you? What are you doing? Get in! People were honking and he didn't care at all. It was like he just couldn't believe he just found me so randomly. I think of that day a lot... 

Loving you was easy, always a qiuck wit and that easy smile with dimples so deep. You were the boy who could do anything he put his mind too. When you were 4 we gave you a gift of a younger brother. You loved Ricky so much and he wanted to do everything you did. Ricky misses you so much he can't vebalize it. TJ you can never be erased in or heart or memories and will never ever be forgotten.

We Love you always, Mom

 Been thinking of all week my dear...Love you

 I know what a hard day with will be for you. I love you and will keep you in my thoughts and prayer especially today! Happy Birthday TJ. We miss you and love you.

Thinking of you today. As I sat in Chelsea's room this morning during my quiet time with her...I asked her to give TJ a birthday hug and lots of love from his Mom. I know the pain of missing Kathleen and my heart is with you especially today. xoxo ♥

I thought of you as I walked on the beach
Listening to the sounds of rolling waves you loved
As they rushed onto the sand.
I wondered if maybe you would come but I knew
It was just wishful thinking because you are not here anymore.
I went to the place where I put you to rest
But to me it is empty and useless.
If I thought I would hear your laughter here or see your beautiful smile
Maybe I would come more often but I know better.
If I could go back and change that day, you know I would.
If I had a time machine, no doubt I would turn back the time on that day
And I would never have let you go.
Time does not heal all wounds. It only heals the ability to deal with it.
Love does not die, it just goes to sleep until time to awaken it again.
I wish I had known so many things while you were here but I learned it too late
after you were gone. If I could have known then, how different now would be.

This Memory web page is so beautiful and touching, I can't stop the tears for your loss.  I am so sorry

I love you TJ. You will live in my heart and memory all the days of my life.
