Memories for TJ

From: Rachel Vandal

Requests: To Janet,Bill,Becky and Chris:
TJ touched many people in many ways. He had the type of smile that was warm and unforgettable. When I first heard the news, his laugh and smile were the first things I thought of. I know words can only do so much, But I still wanted to share how sorry I was to hear of your family's loss. I wish there was something I could do...and if there is, please let me know.

You are all in my prayers.

Love,
Rachel Vandal

My heart felt sympathy goes to you, for you loss of a son, brother and uncle. As we sit back and remember TJ, I know we will have so many great memories; all the jokes and laughs he brought to our lives. Hopefully the tears of sorrow will turn to tears of laughter form all the great stories of pranks and jokes he played on everyone. He always had a beautiful smile for anyone and his laugh that made everyone smile. Kind and considerate he was, and would lend a helping hand to anyone that needed it.
He now is in Gods loving arms, watching over us, until we see him again. May you draw on the strength of family and friends to get you through this very difficult time, and know the Lord is with you.

Janet,
My heart aches for you, words can't even start to repair your heart ache. I just want you to know that I am here for you day or night for anything you need, if it is just to talk. I wish there was more I could do--
Just know this, I love you-

We will all miss you TJ


I love you all
Joyce

From: Noel & Jason Hall

We're so so sorry for your loss. TJ was such a great guy, the moment you saw him he had this big smile on his face and not long after that you would hear his laugh, it was so distinct that when you heard it you would know, TJ is here somewhere.... He was always a happy guy, with a great sense of humor. We both have many great memories with TJ that we'll never forget and it saddens us that we won't be able to create new memories.

Take Care

My condolences go out to his family and friends, he will be missed by many and still loved by many more.

From: Jen, Darnell and the kids

Janet and Family
I wish that there was something that I could do to ease your pain. Reading all these messages made me smile even though I was sad. TJ really was a wonderful person, cousin, and friend to so many people I have so many memories of him and everyone is a good one. I loved when we are all together and we would just sit and laugh, mostly at my expense....but I always enjoyed that time. Chris is gonna have to pick up the slack when it comes to picking on me!!! TJ touched so many lives in so many ways. I will think of him always and like everyone else said I will think of that "smile" and "laugh" that would brighten even the darkest days.He will be missed.
I Love You all
Jen

From: memories

I lived with TJ for the last few years. He was a huge part of my life, I learned many things I still find myself talking like him. I looked up to him like a older brother as did he see me as his little brother. I was the last person to see him alive, I was actually with him in the car accident, along with his dog Myles(whom is still alive and doing well). I see TJ in Myles everyday,he is all i have left to remind me of him. Because while i was in the hospital all of TJ's things were taken by his ex girlfriend. I was unable to make it to the service in minot, but that's ok because TJ is still at my house I feel him watching and sometimes even see him. I truly miss him deeply, i would do anything to go back to that night and drive myself, or at least just see him/ talk to him.
