Reflections for Police Officer David Donald Tome

David,


What a wonderful day for E. Great to see him smile. So proud of him. But now thinking about you not being there. I am so mad and upset you were not here to see it. The tears are just running down my face.
Missing you so so much.
Love you.
XOXO

David,
Merry Christmas. It will never be the same. Josy sick I am sick.
Nothing goes as planned. But as long as we are safe. That is the main thing. But it did snow tonight, took me back to the times that mean the world to me now. Playing in the snow with my two kids sledding down the road in the trailer park. And the good times in Glen Rock in the snow and at Christmas.
Tell Jesus Happy Birthday
Love you
Miss you
XOXO

It has been 4 years since a careless, reckless driver took your life and changed the lives of your family and friends forever.
We still vividly remember where we were and what we were doing when we got the heartbreaking news that you were taken from us.
We will always remember you because of the imprint that you left in our lives and our hearts.
Remembering you with love....

It's hard to believe it's been 4 years. 4 years since our lives changed forever and 4 years that we've had to live without you. So much has happened in the past 4 years that YOU should have been a part of. It's also been 4 years that your amazing wife has shined to so many throughout all these tears. Everything happens for a reason and although we may not know why you were chosen, we know why you chose Dody. I don't know many people who would have been able to turn this tragedy into a great cause, publicly celebrating you every fall and raising so much money and awareness to benefit others so they may not have to go through this. Not only would you be so proud of her but how she is raising your kids. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Such an incredible woman / mother in the midst of such pain and heartache. David, I know you would be so proud, smiling ear to ear, I just hope and pray that you can show her this and continue to give her strength for Eil and Josy. So many love and miss you so much, I don't think you knew how many lives you touched and will continue to do so thanks to Dody, Eli, and Josy. Please continue to guide and give strength to those who need to feel your love.

You and family always in my heart

David,

Wish this month was over with. It's just is like being on roller coaster, all the ups and downs. I want to say so much more but I can not put it in words. But I know you know.

Love You Son

I thought of you yesterday, as I do most days, and what happened 11 years ago yesterday....I also thought of your loved ones as I do most days.....Yesterday reminded me how beautiful it was 11 years ago, except then was one of the best days of both of your lives. And yes, she may be out of jail and I couldn't agree with your mom more about such an inhumane statement. Yet just one more sign of who she really is. Most say actions speak louder than words, but in her case, I'm not so sure. David, not only do we need signs from you during this trying time into next month, but also support your fellow officers to make sure she gets caught sooner than later and violates her parole :) We all know it's just a matter of time, we're just asking for your help ;)

Hugs every day to those left behind

David,

11 years ago today, you married the love of your life.
Your were a couple that became one. But because on one woman named Joanna it was all taken away. And today she is out of jail. One year and four months in jail for killed you. The justice system is not fair. And she's said she happy she's served her debt to society and wants to move on with her life. That statement is just so wrong. Her debt here on Earth will never be paid. And how do we move on with out you. Everyday I think of you and want you back in my arms. Someday that will happen and Joanna will stand in front of her father and answer to him? She is reunited with her children, But you are not and that SUCKS. Sorry David but I am so mad at this moment if just has me so upset. But I still have you in heart and always will. I really need a sign from you that will give me peace and hope for tomorrow.

Love you Son

XOXO

This may just be another ordinary day for most people-but for you it would have been something Special....
another first for your little 'princess'.
Another 'first' that you would have (should have) had the opportunity to be a part of, experience and enjoy.
Miss you and think about all of the life experiences that you never were given a chance to experience and enjoy.

I am mailing my "No Parole" letter today and am urgins all my friends here in Memphis TN to do the same. Thank you for your service, Office Tome. Karen, my brother was murdered in 1988 and the man served only 8 years of a 20 year sentence. I wish I had then what families have now - a voice to speak up for the victim. It never gets easier, but, you do learn to function, I promise you. God Bless you and your family.

David,
Time marches on...but we will always remember you because of all of the love, joy, and happiness that you brought into our lives for 31 years.
Just wish you knew how many lives you touched in your short life--by your kind caring way in thought, word, and deed.
You are in our thoughts and hearts everyday---more often than you could ever imagine.

My heart and soul is sorry for your families loss. I cant help but think of my own mother in this situation and how impossibly hard it is on yours. It will never replace her son but she must always know that her son is a hero. Gone but not forgotten.
