Dear Tom, you were a gentle person with a beautiful soul and smile. Although you are missed terribly, I pray that you are now joyful and at peace with God. He is wonderful and forgiving to all.
To Tom's family - our family also knows the pain of losing someone so vibrant too soon; one who has so much more to offer the world. Know that while there will be days when the emptiness seems overwhelming, that is when God will cover with warmth and comfort. He will let you know that Tom is OK and would not want you in sorrow. Please stay close to each other and know that the Rosemon family prays for hearts' continued healing.
Love Always,

Tommy you were a beautiful person inside and out. You will ive forever in the hearts of many and you will be missed.

Angel Wings

Today I heard the bells ringing
Ringing loud and clear,
For God called your loved one home
And I know you miss her dear.


I feel the pain in your heart
Because you want near,
There is no cheer in your eyes
As I watch the tears appear.

I know that deep within your soul
You struggle with great fear,
But if you listen closely
I know the bells you'll hear.

So let your heart fill with peace
For every time a bell rings,
Remember this my friend
An angel gets its wings.

I am so sorry for your loss.

Tom, words cannot begin to express the deep shock and pain of you leaving us because you are a light that dimmed way too soon... You have no idea of how special and loved you were to so many people-- including me. You were one of the warmest, kindest and most genuine people I've ever known and you will be so greatly missed. I love you... Kim
