Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

David,
We think about you everyday, but especially today.
39 years ago, we started waiting for your arrival on Friday, April 8 and we rejoiced when you arrived on Easter Sunday, April 10.
We did not realize that we would have so little time to spend with you.
Love you and miss you.

My baby boy I love you and miss you today and everyday. Christmas 2015 another year with out you. But I have the best memories a Mom could have of my son. The one Christmas I remember the most is the one at Grandma and you had that bird balancing on your nose. Love that picture❤️ Your baby sister gave me the best Christmas gift, it was a picture of you in a Penn State key ring and a stuff Duck. Memories of you and her and Grandpa with the 5 gallon bucket fishing.
Merry Christmas in Heaven, forever in my heart.

How I wish you were here. But I know you are watching over us. Yesterday
Was the first time a saw a pheasant in year. He was right In the middle of the road. It's been seven years and still nothing is normal anymore. But we are one closer to seeing. The children are growing up. I see you in both of them. That gives me peace. Hugging them is like hugging part of you. Hope to see you in a dream soon. Keep the signs coming it's the little things that keeps me going.

Seven years. Our world changed drastically on that day. We had to keep going but it wasn't easy. It's still isn't easy and there is still a lot of pain. I think about you everyday. Miss you

David,

We know you have not left us spiritually, by the signs you continue to send because you know we need that from you and we are so very thankful for them, you, and what you gave to us. We just wish you were still here with us physically as well as we all miss you so much and think about you daily. We will NEVER forget b/c YOUR life matters.

Ironically this is back to the future day and each of us would do anything to go back in time to prevent this horrific day from happening, but we know we can't so we just count this as one more day closer to seeing with you again.

((hugs))

Here we are David - 7 years since you were taken from your family and loved ones. We-ALL- still remember exactly where we were and what we were doing when we received the unthinkable news.
We think about you every day-some days like today are harder than others.
We have wonderful memories of you that may bring a smile to our face but inside our hearts are broken and we cry silent tears.
The balloons at the USA flag today were meant to honor you and let you know we still remember---but I know that you know that from what happened with the first flag at the flag pole---please let those signs continue---they keep us going until we meet again.

After reading the reflection you Mom wrote about her baby boy and getting a hug it reminded me of a homily I heard some months ago that a Priest said and I would like to share it.
This is for you Mrs. Tome. When David was in your womb he felt safe, content and was very happy and at the very second he was born his world was turned upside down. He felt nervous and was afraid of the unknown because everything was different. Then he felt the warmth of his Mothers arms around him as she held him. The Love and comfort was back because he was not afraid anymore. He was back in his comfort zone and was safe. Just as you took your last breath you might of felt the fear as you did when you were born. Now your spiritual parents were there. Mary and Jesus were there to welcome you with open arms and you felt that same Love and comfort as you did with your Mom when you were born.
Your life here on earth was very short but your life in Heaven with Jesus and Mary goes on for eternity.

May you rest in peace Officer Tome. Very sad to see that you left this earth at such a young age and even worse to see that the person responsible received such a light sentence for it.
I will never understand how the system can be so light when handing out the proper punishment. My Uncle was also killed in the line of duty and even though I was only 10 years old I remember it like it was last night. That women only received one year. Maybe if it was a son or daughter of a lawyer or judge it would be different.
My prayers go out to you David and your family.

We think of you everyday---but especially today because it is/was Your Special Day!
You would be so proud to see how your Mother remembers and honors you on your birthday.
But I am sure that you were smiling down on her today and letting her know in so many ways that you are always near, keeping on eye on her and your loved ones.
With Love,

Just thinking about all the fun we had on St Patrick's Day when we were kids. We'd spend hours outside in the dark hunting for leprechauns. We were convinced that they were real and if we could just catch one and keep it until morning that he would lead us to his pot of gold. To be a kid again! Miss you.

Dear David,
Time goes by, but never forgetting you. Think about you all the time. Was at Dody's yesterday going thru some containers, and found a pair of your winter gloves, I said to her, you should keep these for Eli. We gave them to Eli and he put them on, he said they are warm. We told him they were your gloves. They were to big for him, but he was going to put them away for later. Josy is getting so big , I would of loved seeing you raising her up, she would of differently been daddy's girl. Baseball is coming up for Eli, it would of been nice to have you here to help coach him, but since we don't have you here with us, all of us are trying to be there for them all. Never forgotten....

David,
Well 2015 is here. Another New Year here. Just thinking what you might have looked like now. You alway looked so young. Maybe that's what I need to do have someone draw me a picture you at age 37, that would be so cool !!!!!
Please watch over all the men and women in Blue. We need them to come home to there family's. The blue light will alway be on for you and all the men and women out there keeping us safe.

XOXO
