Please accept my condolences for the loss of this man, father, husband, son and friend. These following scriptures are in the bible for any of you to look up to find hope in your time of sorrow. Isaiah 26:19 tells us that someday those who have died will live again! And in connection with that, Psalms 37:29 tells us that "the meek will inherit the earth and they will reside forever upon it." When Jesus was on earth, he showed that he could bring people back to life, as in the case of Lazarus (John 11:11-44) and the little 12 year old girl (Luke 8:40-56). And he will do it again on a worldwide scale. Revelation 21:4 says that soon "God will wipe out every tear from our eyes and death will be no more."
James 4:8 says to "Draw close to God and he will draw close to you." Reading the bible can bring us so much comfort. I hope that these few verses can help bring some comfort and hope to your lives.

I know that no matter how much i hurt it wont bring you back to me. I went to your burial sight on memoral day. i Know that memorial day is to remeber the fallen soldiors as they were heroes, but tommy you were my hero. you were the best brother, son, father, boyfriend, bestfriend and friend anyone could have. i feel honored to have you as my big brother my leader my protector and my friend. tommy you are and always will be very loved and missed. I love you bubby.

two worlds apart yet close enough to almost hear your voice. / Patrick Forth (cousin) So much to say, where to start? Well your sister Geri got me reminiscing and thinking. Unfortunately with my rusted steel trap of a memory i can't recall as much as i would like. There are some that stand out though. The times as a child playing in the treehouse on delphi and in the pool there too. The time Steve walked in saying we have a problem, me and you looking at each other wondering what it could of been that we did and got caught, but in the end standing in a lineup for my mother to pick me out of. The embarrasing photo taken at the cabin in Michigan. Oh how i had wished for years that you would of been the taller of us two. The time you showed me your workout routine involving the soup cans. The short time you lived with me and some of the late nights we had. The night me, you, David, and uncle Mike stayed up almost all night playing that "game". Through all the years we could talk about anything....and absolutely nothing. Though we only had a few "deep" conversations. We never really needed too. More was said with just a look and a glance. To this day i still look for a connection like that. As you may already know i have a little son on the way, Sean William Forth. Hopefully the name will stay till his birth. I know i'll will try with all my might to be as good of a father as you were. Well, and still are. I also will do everything i can to instill the things that you have been an example of to everyone everyday in your life and after life. When i was rembering today the things that are now past i teared up and cried. Was i crying because i miss you? How could i? I know i will see you again. We all will. I know your presence surrounds us everyday with the same love and caring as when you were here on earth. Did i cry because i can no longer hear your voice or your laugh? I know we will all experience those yet again, and sometimes if we listen carefully enough we can hear it now. Did i cry because i can no longer see your soulfull, compassionate eyes? I know those same eyes still gaze upon us all and one day we all can gaze back. Maybe it is knowing what you had done here and what you had represented. Knowing that it can be so difficult to do what it was that you did so easily. You could lighten up a heart with your smile. Calm an anger with soft words. Ease worry with a place of your hand. And so much more. You touched everyone's soul that you met. Always able to forgive. Your heart was filled with so much love, compassion, and acceptance it would spill over and help fill the hearts of those around you. I ask what greater plan can there be then the one you have already achieved? For the mere act of meeting you would have us all aspiring to live up to your example. Is that not the largest achievement we could hope for in our life here on earth. So thank you for just being. I am blessed to have been able to have been so close to someone so great...as i'm sure many of us feel this way. Enjoy your time in bliss, until we all meet up with you again. I say farewell as i did to you before, not forever, but as two souls who will be reunited again. Now i weap once more, knowing i weap for the pain in longing and waiting till i see you and all those i love, who stand beside you, yet again.
hey bubby / Geri Craves (sister) hey bubby, there is not a moment that goes by that i dont think of you. every time kaylee calls jacob bubby it brings me to tears becouse i know that the bubby i am longing for is gone. and my children wont get to love you like i do. I miss you so bad but yet i am tring to stay strong through every thing that comes my why. i feel like i have already been through the hardest thing in my life (losing you) there is nothing left that is to hard to handle. but that in it self becomes unbearable most days. who ever said time makes it easier didnt have a brother like you. you have become my strength. i dont know if you can hear me every night when i talk to you as if you were standing next to me. i guess i am looking for your wisdom for some sign you are still here and to have the feeling that even though my children cant see you, you are still here holding their hands giving them the same love and guidence that you have always showed me. i love you tommy and i always will. you will never be forgotten!!!!!!!
Missing you never get easier / Danielle Mackey (Sister) Tommy,
Missing you never gets any easier. The hardest part is when i have an off the wall dream about you, and it doesn't make since until months down the road. I see you when I can, but I still cry like the day we left you there. I know you are around sometimes, Hadiyah talks to you still once in a while. I know you are looking down and sometimes I still hear you laugh. I still have the overload of pennies that you had here. I even have a stupid can of oysters that you like, I KNOW they are expired now, but I just cannot throw it away.
Anyway, I love you and miss you and I know that I will always be proud to be your sister.
