Tommy~
I can't put into words the way you've touched my life. It seems like just yesterday I was meeting you for the first time; which happened to be your senior year of high school, my freshmen year. Although it was quite difficult for us to see each other, the hours upon hours of phone calls made up for the distance. Tommy, you were one of my closest friends and I will always cherish our friendship. Their is a place for you in my heart and even without your presence, I receive comfort knowing you are in heaven watching over all of us. Never will I forget your compassion, loyalty, and devotion you put forth everyday of your life. I love you always and forever and you will remain in my thoughts for eternity. Rest In Peace Tommy.
I want to send my thoughts and condolescences to the DeLalla family. You raised the most wonderful son anyone could ask for.

Trish - Over the past few years, you've painted such descriptive portraits of your brother that I felt that I knew him well. As a result, it completely floored me to learn of his tragic accident. My deepest sympathies to you and your family.</b></font><br><br>

Although I also met Tommy only once, at Trish and Steve's wedding, I really felt that I knew him well because of the proud and loving way Trish always spoke of him. He had such a caring and loving family. My heart breaks for you.</b></font><br><br>

First, I would like to thank each and every member of Tom's family. You are the one's that led and inspired Tom to be the person that he came to be. Personally, I am very thankful for that because he has also inspired me to be a better person. Tom was there in a heartbeat if you needed something. He was the most giving and caring person that I had ever met in my life. Tom was just an all around good friend. I am very sorry about this loss that came so suddenly to this wonderful family and I am sure that I will never find a friend that will be able to replace him. The only words of comfort that I can really offer is that we know that God had sent Tom here for a reason, now he is back with God and he couldn't be happier. And to Tom's family, my thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of mourning.</b></font><br><br>

I had the pleasure of knowing Tom for 3 years while he was in Lincoln. Through that time we became very good friends. He was always willing to help me or anyone else in whatever way he could, whether it was for school or just helping move. He was a special young man and he will be greatly missed.
In the last year or so, we had not talked as much as I had moved home to Minnesota. But I was looking forward to seeing Tom this past weekend when I was going to be in town. But I arrived one day too late. Tom's life is one that should be celebrated. In his shortened life, he accomplished more than many do in one that is much longer; and did so with such enthusiasm and determination.
Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.</b></font><br><br>

I only knew Tom for a short time but I have never known anyone like him. He had such a loving and caring heart, everyone loved to be around him. From the first time I met him I could tell that he made an impact on everyone in his life, and I am grateful for my time with him. I will miss him deeply. My thoughts and prayers are with Tom and his family.</b></font><br><br>

Tom was my first friend when I moved to Nebraska 2 years ago. We became fast friends because of Tom's sincerity and genuine nature. In times of trouble and in times of joy, Tom was always available to all of his friends here in Nebraska. He was the one consitent in my life. No matter what, I always knew I could count on Tom for a heart-to heart talk, a big hug and lots of laughter. He taught me to be myself. A decade younger than me, and I learned so much from him. I will always value and cherish the times I spent with Tom. My heart goes out to all family and friends, both in New Jersey and Nebraska. You only had to meet him once to realize what a truly special person Tom was. He touched, literally, hundreds of lives. And I am thankful for his time here in Nebraska.
Please know that your son, brother, was well loved and appreciated. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.</b></font><br><br>

I am so blessed to have known Tom. I met him only but in May of this year yet I feel like I've known him forever. Any and every time I would hang out with him or see him, he seemed so happy and full of life. I swear he was the busiest guy I've ever met.He always had something going on. I do remember one day I called him up to see if he wanted to come over and swim but he said he was busy making a hockey stick for some kids at the apartments. Right then, I knew he was a great guy. The first time I did meet him, I thought he was the nicest person I had ever met and til this day, I still believe that. He honestly would do anything for myself and everyone. I will always remember Tom as a generous,loving,caring, funny guy. He always knew the right thing to say and do no matter what the situation was. I will honestly and truley miss hearing Tom's hilarious laugh and comforting voice. He'll always be in my heart and prayers. God Bless you all.</b></font><br><br>

I had the pleasure of knowing Tom while he lived in Nebraska. Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. He was such a vibrant young man, he always contributed to every conversation and always had a solution to everything. It saddens me to know that he was taken during the prime of his life. He will be greatly missed by everyone here in Lincoln.

Tom and family,
I will always remember spending time at company picnics with Tommy, and the way you spoke so proudly of Tommy in just about any conversation. A friendly, spirited child grew to be a respectable, intelligent, talented young man, thanks to a strong family. Knowing you and Tommy has touched my life and your loss touches me deeper. Words cannot express any more than this. He will be remembered fondly. Sincerely, Mike Phillips</b></font><br><br>

Tommy was one of the nicest young men we have known. He was a talented football player and kicked with the best of them. He was gifted with computers and helped Beth with problems a number of times. He was an extaordinary organizer and led the Columbian Squires so well. He cared for other people and was interested in them, which, for a teenager is an unusual trait. Our hearts are broken for his family and friends. He touched so many lives...he will be missed by many. He taught us all to reach out to other people and not to be afraid to care and say so. We are very grateful that we were among those he touched. We want to send our love and prayers to Grace and Tom and Tricia. We really don't know what to say to you, but please know we are here to help in any way we can. We love you so much, dear friends.</b></font><br><br>

Our thoughts and prayers are with Tom and his family. He was such a caring and loving person. He truly took interest in others and their welfare. We have wonderful memories of him. We shared many fun times and conversations with him. He was in our wedding and went out of his way to be with us on our special day in Blackburg, VA in March of 2003. He made us a wedding website that was very beautiful and creative. Jeff knew Tom since elementary school. They played various sports together and coached soccer in high school. Tom was Jeff's best friend. He will be greatly missed and words can't express how much he meant to us. Our thoughts and prayers are with Tom's family (Tom, Grace, and Tricia.)We love you all. God Bless you. Love, Jeff and Erin Naiman</b></font><br><br>
