In Loving Memory of Thomas Rowley

"In the blink of an eye, everything can change. So forgive often and love with all your heart. You may never know when you may not have that chance again"

Many of you may wonder my need for doing this. I hope in the moment of such tragic circumstances, even the most unwilling can understand that while Thomas was no longer a part of my life, he meant the world to me for quite some time. Though we parted ways, I'd always hoped the best for him, because I knew he was capable and because he deserved it so very much. We had very opposite life paths but sometimes you meet someone at a certain point in life for a reason. I believe we both taught one another something and for that, and all my memories of you—I will cherish. When someone truly touches your heart, they are never forgotten, despite the outcomes between you two. Regardless, I never thought I'd be left without a chance to have one last conversation with you, a laugh, anything...I hope you know even now, my heart was always in the right place for you—even if I wasn't able to communicate that.

As many of you know, Tom's family was small.  This, and the obvious tradegy has made planning his arrangements tough. We are asking on behalf of the family and Tom's dearest friends, that you donate anything at all you can to help during these times and for the obvious burden of the funeral costs. The goal is to hopefully raise $7k in less than 18 days. This is not going to be easy, but any and all help is so very much appreciated. 

Rest in forever paradise, Tommy. 
Thank you in advance
