Reflections for Police Officer David Donald Tome

David,
Your son Eli turned 6 today! It feels as if yesterday that he was just born! He is growing up sooo fast and is looking more and more like a future Penn State football player! Joslyn looks more and more like you each and every day. :) We love you and miss you! Keep your arms around Dody and your family! :)

You are never forgotten, not only on a day like today, but everyday

My Dear David,

How I miss you. Didn't get to write you for awhile, but that don't mean your not with me. Every minute of everyday you are with me. The thought of you not here with us makes me cry. Josy the other night was saying her prayers and at the end she blew you a kiss. Dody got new sneakers for Eli and they had to be like yours. I try my hardest David to ALWAYS be there for Dody and the children. Hunting at the cabin for Rocky is not the same. Nothing in our life is the same without you. I'm so thankful for what little time we had you in our life, you were our daughter's husband (THE BEST), our grandchildren's father (SUPER DAD), our son-in-law (LIKE OUR SON). Sorry someone had to take you away from us early. ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS.

David,

I miss you so much.
Your home is heaven now.
That's our eternal home as well as our enduring hope, a hope someone defined as He Offers Peace Eternal.
Rest in peace my son.
Love,
Mom

David,

I know you and my son Mike spent a very special Christmas with Jesus this year. It sounds selfish but how I wish you and Mike were here with us, your families. I know your both watching over us and ask that you continue to do so. Please let your family know your still there in spirit with them. They have a rough time coming up but we'll be there to help them through, we'll have their backs like you and Mike had each other's back's here on earth even though you were from different departments, you were family and your family is our family.
Happy New Year David, you'll never be forgotten and forever be a Hero to us all.

Merry Christmas David,

I hope and pray that you tightly wrapped Dody, Eli, Josy, your mom, and those who needed you most last night and today in your arms and that they feel your presence even though you are not physically with us.

We miss you and think about you every single day, and then some.

Say Hi to Grandpa for me and send him our love as well. We miss you both, take care of each other and please continue to watch over all of us, keep us safe and give us strength.

David,

Merry Christmas Son.
Always remember how proud I am of you and how much I Love You. You grew up to be a incredible young man. Your positive outlook was always present. Your determination and abiility to succeed was there. Your excitement and sense of humor it made you special. You took risks and were not afraid of failure. I am more proud of you than ever and I Love You. Miss you so much each and every day.
Eli and Josy are your two very special Grandchildren to me part of you. I can see you in both of them. And I know you are smiling down at them.
XOXO Mom

David,
This is the second Christmas that you are spending with Jesus and we are left with memories which we use to try to comfort our broken hearts.
The memories may be captured in a photo with a never-ending smile, sparkling eyes, or a certain look..or could be our thoughts while reflecting upon happy times spent with you.
These memories are always nearby for they are kept in our hearts.
Sometimes, we are blessed to catch a glimpse of your spirit in your 2 young children and I thank God for that.
You are forever in our hearts.
Merry Christmas with Love.

David,
Well our family christmas party was supposed to be this afternoon, but because of all of the snow it is postponed until tomorrow afternoon. I just wanted to let you know that you will be greatly missed tomorrow at the family gathering. It will never be the same without you....I will always remember the time on Christmas day at grandma's house whenever we were unwrapping gifts and you proposed to Dody! That will always be an unforgetable moment to me! Ryan and I went down to visit Dody and your beautiful children last Monday! We took christmas presents down for Eli,Joslyn, and Dody! They loved them. I got Eli a new Penn State football and of course that is all him and Ryan played with the whole time. Joslyn got a new Strawberry Shortcake DVD. My goodness she could watch it for days and she knows all of the songs on it. I just wanted to let you know that you will be greatly missed tomorrow at our family gathering, but you will NEVER be forgotten! Please keep us safe tomorrow and throughout this holiday season! We love you and miss you!

Happy Thanksgiving in Heaven. We had the game on earlier and it reminded me of years past coming over to your house to have Thanksgiving and all the other good times we had.

I wish I could have spent Thanksgiving with your side of the family this year, but I'm sure you were there putting smiles on everyone's face as they all talked about you. I can just imagine Josy running around and laughing, playing with Eli as they both light up any room.

We miss you and think of you and the rest of the family often. I continue to pray that you often show them you are still around and give them the strength to get through your physical absence.

David,

Saturday was a day to honor you and remember you.
Your smile, your out look on life, was there. Dody did a outstanding job. Eli and Josy just ran and ran like you.
I look at Eli went he runs and I see you. And Josy has that smile all the time like you. Went Josy looks at your picture, with the biggest smile say "THATS MY DADDY"
Thats Daddy little girl. In pictures take recently Eli stands in the back of Dody and Josy holding on to them like you did. You have alot to be proud of in both of them. What I did Saturday was for you son. Giving the medals just as watched so many time when you received them. What a honor, I know you were by my side the whole time saying Mom you can do this. Thank you son.

Today have a great birthday party with grandpa. I love you and miss you both so so much with all my heart.
A love that will always be there for you. Till I meet you on the other side kept shining down on me. My angel and sparkle of hope.

What your wife pulled off today was absolutely amazing. It was so beautiful to see you shine your love down on her just as she started to announce the awards and speak. Once again I saw today why you married her, she is truly an inspiration for strength, hope, and courage. As always, your children lit up the environment and are an absolute joy. I know she could not go on if it is not for your unending support of signs that you truly are still around her and the kids. I know you will, but please continue to show your love to those who need it most and keep us under your safe watch.

Dave,
Your memorial race today was simply amazing. The turnout was great and the weather was perfect. They called for rain, but the grey clouds parted ways for the sun and there was a nice fall breeze. It couldn't have been any better. Alot of the guys we ran with in school were there. Of course you already know all of that, because you watching down upon us. It brought back alot of memories for me and I hope it brought Dody and your family some comfort. Keep watch over them and continue to give them the strength to make it through each day. They are amazing people and I wish they weren't going through this, because they do not deserve it. My wife and I pray every day for them. I hope our prayers reach their hearts.
Take care Brother, I'll be with you on the next run.

Dave, You and your family are in my thoughts all the time. The 21st was a beautiful fall day like last year. It seemed as though it was just yesterday that we had our last conversation. It was one that I will never forget. You are missed greatly. I know you must be so proud of Dody. Her strength is inspirational, your children are wonderful and they are all loved by so many. God bless you.

Dave, One year ago yesterday, tragedy struck......that has been the fastest year ever...... We still cannot believe this actually occured....We remember the day like it was yesterday and it was the worst day ever.. We thank you for shining down on your wonderful family for showing them the way to courage. Your family is trying their hardest but it is not easy at all. We try to support them and be there as much as they need us. You are always in our hearts. And by the way, Camron was reading his bible the other night and was saying that you were having fun playing in heaven, so I'm sure that is true. Keep your wings over your family.

Hi Babe,
It is so hard to believe we made it a whole year without you. I do not doubt that God and the love and strength that you left with us is what pulls us thru. Looking towards the future I become so scared, but I know you will always be there to guide us. Even in your absence we continue to feel your love. You will always be the love of my life and remembered for all the joy you brought to it. I look forward to the day when I can run into your arms and see your smiling face again. Until then...all my love!

It's hard to believe it's been one year since you were taken away. Time hasn't healed any wounds, in fact, as time goes on, days / events pass that only make us miss you more.

Of course your first memorial race will happen on an appropriate game day, and even though I think I already know the outcome, I still have to say GO BLUE!
