"God Rest Your Soul"
Tommy
Tommy this is for you on your 51 first Birthday. I know that you’re not here anymore. For you’re in Heaven with our dear mother. Yet I had to let you know that I've not forgotten about you. I think of you every day since you left this earth to the greatest place than one could ask to be, in Heaven with our mother.
Tommy you never said alot, yet you always found a way to let others know that you loved them. You were very much a loner. I never knew till just before you passed away, just how much you did love me.
With you being my older brother, you always tried to show me the right way in life. You gave to me the love and kindness of a brother. Tommy I miss you so dearly.
Remember when you used to play around all of the time and try to get me in trouble? When in fact it was you that did it. Boy, Tommy, we did have some fun in the short time that you did have on this earth.
Leaving us 6 months before your Birthday, which you would have been 32 years old. Tommy, I guess the reason that I'm writing this for you, is to tell you just how much I miss you. And what it means to me that you love me too.
Tommy your work on this earth will never be forgotten. I know it was hard for you to tell others of your thoughts and feelings. Yet Tommy you did alot more than you'll ever know.
Mother would cry so much for you. For she didn't understand how all of this could have happened. One, that we never knew the truth about your death. Many times you would hear mother in her room just crying and longing for you.
Yet now Tommy you two are together, and are once more as mother and son in the eyes of God. I know this makes mother very happy to know you’re together again. Her pain is no longer there
Tommy I want to tell you this part about Bobby. On the day that you were put to rest, Bobby couldn't come up to see you. Not that he didn't love you for that would be wrong. Yet he had to say goodbye in his own way. Tommy, he loves you so much. Yet not wanting others to see his hurt of your passing.
Tommy this part is from me. I am your baby sister. Well, your only sister. Tommy I want to tell you at the time of your death I went into shock. I couldn't cry that day. I guess Tommy it was that I didn't believe that you were really gone.
The next day I cried so much that there was nothing that could stop me. I wanted so that it could have been me. For you were the smart one, and I was only the one that could make babies.
You went to school and made something of yourself. Well Tommy, this has taken me a very long time to even write anything about you. I guess that in my heart I just couldn't believe what we were told about your death. But now is the time to let you go to rest.
Tommy you did so much for your country, and even gave your life so that maybe our life would be better. So you see Tommy, you did leave something behind you. Besides the ones that loved you so.
Remember Tommy, that one day we will all meet in Heaven and be together as one great big family once more. What you left behind you will never be forgotten. Your unsaid words of love to others.
Tommy
One yet so quiet
One that gave so much
Wanting love so bad
Yet never telling no one.
Holding everything inside of you
So that no one would see your pain
Not knowing how to let it out
So you walked your own path.
Asking nothing from anyone else
Trying hard to adjust to being on this earth
This love that you gave will be everlasting.
Now that you are at peace in Heaven
And your time is forever more
Rest now my dear brother
For here on earth you'll never be
"FORGOTTEN"
From Your Sister
With all of my love
