This is the poem that was read at Tommy's Funeral  / Stacey Livingston (Friend)

This poem was written and read by Stacey Livingston
of the Sanford Fire Department.


It was Sunday February 1st, it was too much for you to bear,
Many of us cry, and say it's not fair

What went wrong?  Why didn't we see?
Let's put these questions aside, and know he's happy

For his own reasons, he made the decision to leave
We must all pull together, and help each other grieve

We are police, we are fire, we are old, we are young
It is hard to believe his last song has been sung

We have one thing in common, we have all lost a friend
Time will help heal our wounds, and help out hearts mend

If he could speak to us now, he would say Please don't cry
I'm okay, I am happy, in my new home in the sky

The stars always twinkle, soft winds always blow
Release pain and guilt, just know it was my time to go

It will never make sense, we will never understand why
We didn't even get a chance, to tell you goodbye

Whenever we saw you, there was a smile on your face
You were kind, you were friendly, no matter what the case

If one was speeding through Sanford, there was no negotiation
When he caught up to you, you were getting a citation

Bad drivers in heaven must be creating such havoc
That's why god called him home, to help him run traffic

We will cherish your friendship, you'll be alive in our hearts
We know you'll watch us from heaven, so we won't be apart

We will miss you dearly, may you find happiness in Heaven
Officer Tom McCall, you are permenently 10-7

Tommy, Katie just turned 13 on Friday. You wouldn't believe how pretty she is, how smart and how artistic.  She is really very sweet.  All the girls miss you so.  I do, I think about how things would've been if you were still here.  I miss you so much, and some days cannot stop thinking about you.  I love you, my sweet baby boy.  Love, Mom Close

Ashley's Birthday  / Teri McCall (Mom)

Tommy,

Your baby girl just turned 9.  She is a wonderful child, she is caring, sweet and the image of you.  She will always be "her Daddy's shadow"  and Boo.  I cherish the time I have with all three of your babies.  They are all so special, and very individual.  I try to keep you alive and in their hearts and minds. Love you always, Mom

Suicide is selfish in and of itself. Suicide of a cop disparages those who have DIED IN THE LINE OF DUTY!!! AND TO USE A BEAUTIFUL SONG LIKE AMAZING GRACE WAS JUST EVIL!                  Close

Unhappy fathers day for me  / Teri McCall (Mom)

I wish you were here to celebrate Fathers Day with your girls.  They are getting so big and so beautiful.  I still can't believe you are gone.  I think about you all the time, wishing I knew what was going through your mind.  Nothing is worth taking your life, you have no idea what we are all going through.  I get so mad at you, for leaving us, without telling us what you intended to do and giving us the chance to help you.  Father's Day will be an unhappy day, because I can't share my love with you.  The girls miss you, I miss you.  Kim and Gram and all the others truly miss you.  You made an impact on so many lives, from your friends and family to your brothers and sisters on the Police force.  They miss you too.  Please watch over our extended family, and your immediate family, Tommy because we love you and always will.

Love you so much,

Mom

OH YA,YOU TOLD ME THAT YOU WOULD SEE ME LATER WHEN WE LEFT THAT MEETING IN CITY HALL THE THURSDAY BEFORE YOU FLEW AWAY. I HOPE TO SEE YOU AGAIN MY BROTHER I MISS YOU SO MUCH.

YOU ARE MISSED MY FRIEND  / Allan McCoy (Sgt. / POLICE )

Tom,

Today, I had the privilege to listen to your mother speak on behalf of her son and all officers that might need help along the way. You would be proud to know that she has played a very important roll at the Sanford Police Department, bringing awareness to this growing problem. Even though I have never been formally introduced to your mom, I see a lot of your qualities in her. Strength, courage, kindness and a passion for what she believes in.

Most people don't know this but I come by the cemetery on occasion when I am working at night to check on you. You will always be part of our law enforcement family and I miss working with you brother. You always made me laugh, you were always there when I needed back up and you are one of the finest police officers I have ever worked with.

Sincerely,

Sgt. Allan F. McCoy

Hey Spud, can't believe it has been 4 years now that you've been gone.  
You have missed so much.....
Your daughters are getting so big, and they all beautiful, with great personalities.  Kaitlin is getting to be so grown up, Ashley is just as sweet as can be, and Hannah is just a trip.  I wish you could hear some of the things they come up with!  
Jimmy is taller than me now & he's built just like you.  AND, he's just as sarcastic as you & thinks he's very funny.  His voice is changing and he's growing too quick.  And, both his uncles are gone, what a shame....it breaks my heart that you are missing the kids growing up.....

Everyone really misses you.... Gram, Nana & Grandpa, Aunt Sandi, me, and especially Mommy.  I know Daddy does too, but he don't say much, you know how he is...  
Anyway, there is so much you are missing and I will never understand why you left us so soon.  You are loved & missed so much....

Tomorrow is your Angelversary  / Teri McCall (MOM)

Tommy,
Tomorrow marks your 4 year Angelversary.  Some days it seems like you have been gone forever, other days, it was just yesterday.  My heart still has a huge hole in it and it always will.  Some days it is so hard to go on without crying.  Everyone still talks about you and misses you so much.  I always talk to the girls about you, because I don't want them ever to forget their Daddy.  Katie and Ashley remember alot about you, but Hannah was so little, she doesn't.  Kim misses you so much also, I can't help thinking that she is an only child now, she needed her brother!  JImmy talks about you also, especially when Grannie calls him Tommy.  You know how she is, never gets your name right.  Whenever I see a hawk, I think of you, they seem to always appear, whenever I need you the most.  I am hoping it is your spirit with me.  I love you and miss you so much.  I wish I could hug you so hard, you would say "Mom stop it you are hurting me".  I wish you peace, maybe one day I will understand.  I don't know how you could leave so many loved ones behind...  Everyone loved you!

I wish I could see your face  / Teri McCall (MOM)
Tom it has been so long since I have seen your beautiful face.  This past Xmas and your birthday has been very hard for me.  I am not sure why this year seemed harder than last.  I cannot get you out of my mind.  I kiss your pictures all the time, wishing I could hug my baby again.  The girls are getting so grown up.  Katie is almost a teenager.  Ashley is still so sweet and lovable and looks just like you, and Hannah is a little devil.  She has your ways, kind of impish.  They are so beautiful.  I still wish you were here for Kim and Daves wedding, it was such a blast.  First time I have a really good time since you left us.  Your Angelversary is coming up soon, I can't believe it is 4 years already, it seems like yesterday sometimes and others like eternity.  I miss you and love you and always will Close

Tommy,
Kim and Dave finally tied the knot.  You should've been there!  It was great, everyone dress up as pirates.   Katie, Ashley and Hannah looked so cute in there pirate costumes.  We all missed you very much.  Every day with out you is like a day without sunshine.  I think about you everyday and wonder what life would be like with you here.  So much has changed, and then again, it seems like time has stood still.  Katie just turned 12, Jimmy 13, I can't believe it.  I remember you riding Lacy and Sweetie with Jimmy as a toddler.  What great times we had.  I love you so very much, and my heart still aches for you.  Miss you SO much.  Love always Mom.

Tom, each day you are not with us, I miss you more.  There is so much happening that you are missing.  Katie is going to Middle school, she is so creative and artistic.  She is turning into a very loving young lady.  Ashley is doing great, she is so caring and lovable.  She always has something sweet and nice to say.  She looks so much like you.  Hannah is going to be going to Kindergarten this year.  She is adorable and has your devilish side.  The things that pop out of her head, she cracks us up!  Jimmy is getting so tall, he reminds me of you when you were 12.  He is smart and very good looking.   I saw Brian yesterday, he is in from California, He and Julie have a baby boy.  Dante is so cute, Brian wishes you were here to show off his baby too.  You have made such an impact on so many lives.  I am proud to have been with you and to have been your Mom.  I will never stop loving you or missing you.
Love, Mom Close

Tommy,
Well on November 11th, 2006 I married your Father.  I know on this day as with all the other days you were looking down on us and smiling.  Your girls were in the wedding and they looked so cute all dressed up.  You would have been so proud of them.  Your father misses you so much and so do I.

My heart will never heal from you leaving us Tommy, I miss you so and will love you forever!  Your girls are getting so big, Ashley just turned 7.  She is just as sweet as ever, I hope she grows up as a loving, caring young lady.  Hannah, just started pre-school, she is getting tall.  She is very smart for her age, but don't tell her no, she shoots daggers with her eyes. Katie is an honor roll student, she is very gifted, although you know that.  Jimmy is almost 12, he is playing football now, he is built just like you were, when you were 12, he is also very smart!  Kim, Gram, Aunt and I talk about you all the time.  We will always keep your memory alive and we talk about all the goofy things you did.  MISS YOU SO BAD.  Love Mom Close

I am so sorry for your loss.  I lost my father in 1998.  He was the best.  I loved him and miss him dearly.  I wanted to say it seems like it never goes away but don't let anyone force you guys to let go.  It has been eight years this last august and it hurts now more than ever.  We will all stand together to get through this.  Even though I don't know any of you my heart goes to you and if you ever need to talk don't be afraid to ask................

Love

Seems so funny we met about 8 yrs. old, thanks to our parents... dads being life long best friends. I still remember the trip to the Poconos...funny times, I still have the pictures! Also, my first trip to Florida and riding the horses with you. I will always remember "Sweetie". So nice to see pictures of how you changed and the wonderful man you became. God bless your entire family and your children. You truly are an angel that was sent from God... unfortunately you were only lent to us for 28 years. You are greatly missed every day by everyone that had the pleasure of knowing you. I miss that devil smile, and goofy Tommy I knew. God bess you and your family. Always in my prayers... Close
