Miss you alot / Teri McCall (Mom)
Dear Tommy Katie just turned 14 last weekend. What a beuatiful young lady she is turning out to be. Ashley is 10 and cute as a button and so sweet. Hannah is 8 now she is adorable and funny. Her sense of humor is much like yours. Ted & I are going to be married in Januari. You were supposed to walk me down the aisle. At least in my mind you should be. Grannie is going to instead. Every thing is moving quite fast and I so wish you were here to be with your girls and me. You would really like Ted he is funny a very good dad and grandpa. He is good with the horses and dogs. We had to put Sweetie down on 9/4 she was in alot of pain and I couldn't bear to see her suffer. In my dreams you are riding her in the wind on the beach she loved that with Keela by your side. We got a new horse Buddy he is sweet and cute and has a long curly mane that tangles very easy. Sonny and Buddy get along real well and play alot. I want you to know I never stop missing you or loving you. Neither does Kim Grannie and probably every one else. You are always in my thoughts. I love you now and forever. Mom Close

Can't believe it has been 5 years / Kim (Sister)
Well Tom, it has been 5 years since you have been gone. I remember the day you died like it was yesterday. We were getting ready for a Superbowl party and I was running late, as usual. When I got the phone call to hurry and come over to mommy's, I thought they were just messing w/me. But, then I pulled up and saw all the police cars. It was all so surreal....
Well, we all missed the Super bowl and that was the year Janet Jackson's boob popped out on National TV. I know you wouldn't have wanted to miss that, or all the other things that have happened over the last 5 years. You didn't really get to know Hannah because she was still a baby. But let me tell you, she is a trip! She is very funny and such a character, reminds me alot of you. Ashley is as sweet as always, and I know she misses you very much...she will always be your "Boo". Katie is a teenager now and we need you here to keep the boys away. They are all beautiful and are getting so big. Jimmy loves to hang-out with them, and he throws the little ones around like you would've done. He is getting really big and hopes to be taller than you. The way he's going, he just might do it!
5 year Angelversary / Teri McCall (MOM)
My precious son, it is 5 long years today since you left us. I still can't believe you are gone. You are always in my thoughts and forever in my heart. You have missed so much, everyone misses you. Kim & Dave are married, Jimmy is 14 and bigger than me and Kim, He is playing football and is really good. Katie is getting to be a beautiful young woman, smart and talented. Ashley is so sweet and caring, she is gorgeous. She is doing good in school. Hannah is a charactor, she is so cute and has your devilish grin. She cracks us up constantly. Ted & I are finally getting married early next year. I wish you had gotten a chance to know him, he is kind, considerate and wonderful to me. Gran is doing ok, she seems like every time she takes one step forward, she goes two back with her health. I pray for her. Rio, Miacco and Navarro are all ok, Sonny will be 20 this year, and Sweetie will be 23. We have a new horse Ginger, she is beautiful but has some lameness. We got an awesome car, you would love to drive it. Well, my son, I love you and miss you so much. One day we will be together again. Love Always, Mom Close
Miss you Tom..... / Brad Bowlin (friend)
Well, it's been almost five years brother, and there is still a big hole in my life. I miss being able to pick up a phone and talk to you, and laughing the whole time. I miss that mischievous grin you get when we are about to mess with someone...lol. I talk about you often to fellow Deputies, and strive to keep the memories alive. Bill told me about this web-site, and I am glad I found it. I look forward to the day when we meet again, and I especially look forward to laughing with you again.....you are missed, but never forgotten........ Close
Tommy, today would have been your 34th birthday. I wish you were here to celebrate. I still have a hole in my heart, that will never heal. You are always on my mind and in my heart.
Ted and I are going to get married next January. You would've been walking me down the aisle.
Hannah had a recital last week, she was so cute! She is getting so big. All the girls are. I think Hannah has your sense of humor, Ashley is caring and loving just like you. Katie is very smart.
Ted got me Charger RT for Christmas, it is black and much like my Grand National. It is so SWEEEET! I know you would have loved it.
I hope that Mother & Dad and Pop-pop, have a party for you in heaven. Please tell Pop=pop happy birthday also.
Ronnie Brown was here this week. He still misses you very much. He thinks about you every day, as do the rest of your family.
Katie became a teenager / Teri McCall (Mom)
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
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
THOUGHT PROVOKING WEBSITE... / Sara (NONE)
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
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.

COMMUNITY POLICE OFFICER / CYNTHIA LITTLES (DEAR FRIEND )
TOM, I NEVER GOT A CHANCE TO SAY GOODBYE. I NEVER GOT A CHANCE TO TELL YOU THAT YOU ALWAYS HAD THE UPPER HAND ON EVERYTHING THAT COULD GO WRONG LOL. THINK ABOUT IT,YOU JUMPED ON THE INTERSTATE AND HEY SANFORD PD WAS ON TELEVISION BEING WATCH BY THOUSANDS. YOU PUT US ON THE MAP AT THE SEMINOLE COUNTY JAIL, EVERYONE WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW YOU PEPPER SPRAYED THAT GUY FOR SPITTING ON YOU AND THE RUMOR THAT YOU COULD NOT GO BACK TO THE JAIL. THAT WAS SO FUNNY. I NEVER GOT A CHANCE TO TELL YOU HOW YOU REMINDED ME OF MY DECEASED BROTHER WITH YOUR CARING SMILE AND GENTLE TOUCH. 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.
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....
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
Miss you / Teri McCall (Mom)
Tom, I miss you so much, my heart aches for you. Christmas and your birthday is so hard for us. I cannot get you out of my mind. I still would like to know why???? I cannot understand it, I guess I never will. I love you and will always. Love Mom Close
Way to Long without you / Teri McCall (Mom)
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. Close
I miss you! / Teri McCall (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

You are missed so much / Sheri McCall (Father's Wife )
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. Close
It still seems like yesterday at times, and other times it was long ago. / Teri McCall (Mom)Read >>
It still seems like yesterday at times, and other times it was long ago. / Teri McCall (Mom)
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
