(Oldest Posts First)

Nearly 10 years since the Thomas died.
Just read a very elegant and dignified piece by Thomas's father.
Look out for your pals and remember theirs always people to talk too.
I'm reminded of a quote from Seamus Heaney " Even when the hopes you started out with are dashed, Hope has to be maintained".

ashamed to say I never knew he had passed away...I had two very small children at the time of his passing so maybe thats how I missed it..remember him playing..wasnt he a forward if I remember right....years tip around too..nice to remember him folks..we think of his parents and family and all people affected by tragic deaths too..we think we have hardships but sure what are they compared to the likes of the young Thomas's family and thousands of others around the country..RIP..
