Hey Tom,
My heart breaks for the pain you experienced in your short life here on earth. You were in so much pain both mental and physical and I hated to see you hurt. I’m sorry we were unable to help you and that we weren’t their when you passed. You passed away Jan. 20, 2003 but I didn’t know until 2004 and I never found out where you passed or the details on your death till April 2026. Mom, was worried she could not handle what happened surrounding your death and she was so right to halt me looking for you. I was able to get 20 more years with Mom following us losing you and even though she ached for you – her pain was nothing compared to what happened and what I found out (that would have broke our Mother). I could only imagine, actually I can’t imagine, how desperate you felt. I’m so sorry Tommy for all you went through but I do take comfort in knowing you are at peace. I also found out that since they didn’t know where we were, they scattered your ashes in the river locally to where you passed. I love you my big brother and I wish we could have grown old together and that you were able to live in peace.
