Tom, I remember the day that Blanca said you and her were dating. Blanca was so sweet, happy, and yes nervous like a young school girl. You were so repectful of Blanca. As I moved away, my memory of you, Blanca, and the gang from Riverside County was fresh in my mind. I know you and Blanca built many good memories together. I am only sorry that your lives together was shorter than you had hoped for. We all dream of growing old together. So I'm not saying goodbye, as we shall meet you again, someday. And as we greet each other again. God's speed. Michelle Mick- Johnson

Tom was the best friend anyone could ever ask for. In our 20 years of friendship, he was fiercely loyal, incredibly inspirational, and above all, the kindest person I have ever met. I am grateful to have been his "best man" at his wedding (even though I'm a girl) and will always cherish his laughter, tenacity, and beautiful spirit. The world without him is not the same. Blanquita, I love you both with all my heart and soul. Tanya

The photo pictured of Tammy, Tom and Eva was taken in the photo booth at the fair if you hadn't guessed. We were a good threesome! (Sorry Eva, love you!). There are three other photos out there somewhere...
