I will never forget you telling me in my Mother's Day Card, I am your favorite lady on the earth. Thad I miss you so much. What an awesome gift of a son you are to me. Mom

Thad, If I could tell everyone about you in a few words, the best words I could say. You are my son. Of all the gifts I have been given, I treasure your life and will miss all the funny things you say, sing and do. The wonderful way you could make me feel being your Mom. Forever your favorite lady on earth, as you told me on Mother's Day. Mom

Thad... I still look for your truck or your smile walking through my door. I don't believe this has happened to one of the best guy I've ever meet. You would walk in a room and it would light up... I never had to ask for wood because I always had a ton on my porch to keep me warm and never did you ask for anything in return, because that was the kind of guy you were.... A true friend that became my family and very close to my heart. I will always remember our good times together and all the German food I would cook for you every weekend... Bobby thought the world of you and he is going to miss his best friend. I remember the night you told Bobby and I about the halo around the moon, now every time we see one we think of you. We love to the moon and back and your foot print will for ever be embedded in our heart... Bow season will not be the same with out you buddy... Love you!!!!!

I still can't believe it. Such an amazing, hilarious, fun loving, happy, respectful man. He'd meet a stranger and by the end of the night they were great friends. He made my day so much better everytime I saw him. Love you Thad. You are incredibly missed.

You'll always be in our hearts. We love you Thad. Tom, Shery and Sonny
