Tommy Vreeland’s funeral expenses to help his Mom

A dear friend of mine and MANY, Thomas Vreeland, unexpectedly passed away Sunday evening in his sleep.  He was only 46 years old.  He was a hardworking mailman for over 20 years.  Those of you who were lucky enough to call him a friend, know what an amazing human being he was.  If you needed ANYTHING, he was there without question.  Needed an extra person for softball, pool, fantasy football or anything else?  He would always be in, even if he wasn’t any good at it.  Had a fundraiser for your kid or any other cause?  He would have his wallet out before you could finish your sentence.  He was a kind soul.  In twenty years of knowing him, I never heard a bad word about anyone come out of his mouth.  Even in our very stressful, mentally and psychically demanding job, I never saw him without a smile on his face or appear to have a bad day.  He didn’t take himself too seriously and was always good for a laugh or even just a quick hello to ask about your family or just how things were going.  He loved his local sports teams and traveling with his friends to go watch them in other stadiums.  He loved life and lived it as such!

He was an only child and was everything to his mother.  She is devastated and now feels she has nothing.  Thomas took such great care of his mother, including financially.  His father, who was also a mailman,  passed away about 10 years ago.  So there is no other financial help to help his mom during this tragic situation.   His bank accounts are now locked and his mom doesn’t know how she is going to pay for his funeral expenses.  

That is why I’m asking for your help.  Tommy would give you every cent in his pocket, if he was the one being asked.  He was a beautiful person and hopefully, with your help, will comfortably  and peacefully be laid to rest, albeit WAY TOO SOON!
