Thomas Rooney Obituary

Hello all this is Toms granddauther Brandi Lion....


I have been meaning to write on this for some time now but i needed time... and i just found out about an other passing of a loved one today. Mrs.Plunket.
Any ways im going to write something that i have been writing for creative writing class. and jsut something i have written sinc my grandfathers funeral

Its neat how death od a loved one brings people toghter. How it braings broken famliy togther just for that one person. How it takes 25 years to consider that person you mother or your father. for someone to take you in and rase yuo aside from your not hers. But that doesnt matter you are her child its a mother or fathers part to take care or you no matter what. Every one comeing togther for your passed loved ones. How all your fears,hate,cares, and anything else, go away for that loved one for an hour and a half everything goes toward them. You remeber about thier past thier life. And everything in between. You hold on to lost memories. You hold to them. You rember how they surved there country raisd a big famlit took care of millions of grandkids and even tho hes not here now one great grandkid on the way. NO matter what you are doin he is always there no matter what. When he passed he passed a day before my dance recital and when i was waiting to dance i lookd up and said i wish he was here to see me. and my lil cousin said brandi he is here now he can watch you all you want front row always. and i looked up to the sky and smiled, cuz i knew that was true cuz if he was here physicaly he woundt know what was going on but now he can go to all my dance recitals all my concerts and be there always.
He well wipe away your tears when you are crying, hold you and fight away the monsters when you are sacared keep you warm when you are cold and pick/catch when you are falling.
To me with or with out the dieses he knew what was going on he knew everything.
Some times i catch my self in his room or staring at his chair or at dinner looking at his seat, but to me hes just up stiars useing the restroom or sleeping or picking on grandma. I cry cuz i miss him alot and i luagh at all our memoires. I hold on to him always.

Word cannot discribe what or how i feel about my grandfather he was a great man did many wounderful things. Every day when i am out side i look up and smile and kiss the sky know hes doing the same.
Hes watching down on us keeping us safe.
There are 2 great angels heaven is holding for us...
I love you and miss you dearly Grandpa and Mrs.Plunket., love you Grandma...


Love always
Your Brandi Lion

Hi Patty, Mrs. Rooney, and family. This is De Patty's friend. I just wanted to send my condolences and regards to all for the great loss of your father/husband. I heard of Mr.Rooney through Patty's stories about him and finally had the opportunity to meet him when we had ekg's done on him and Mrs. Rooney. It was like i've known him for years he had caught my heart and was special to me. I'm sorry about your loss but know heaven has gained a very special soul. You are in my thoughts and prayers. May God Bless You All. Stay strong and never give up because you may think he is gone but he lives on through you, in your memory and in spirit. He is only a thought away. Once again I'm so sorry about your loss.

My thoughts are with you all.. Wish I could be there with you Patty at this difficult time.

I am really going to miss taking care of my dad, I really loved doing that. We miss you dad/grandpa. I love you ...Patty

Our condolences to the family of Tom. Although we did not know him well he was always pleasant and friendly neighbor. Many times as I went out in the early morning to pick up the paper in the dark I would hear a friendly "Hello" from Tom. May he rest in peace.

I have many fond memories of times spent with Tom and Gen, especially with my father when he came to visit. I will never forget the times I spent out on the porch looking through the window at the Broncos games, because my presence in the room always jinxed them.

God bless you, Gen. May Tom's soul know the joy of being at home and at peace with his creator.

Love,

BJ
