5 Years Ago Today

A friend once told me that the worse thing that can happen when you lose a child is that others will forget...



Thomas James Sweet, our precious angel, was taken tragically on June 23, 2004. Thomas led his brother Nicholas into this world, and now his mission completed, his perfect spirit enjoys the warm embrace of his Heavenly Father.

Thomas never had a bad day. He radiated happiness and his love for others was genuine. His example and influence will teach us all to show more patience and love for one another. He loved to hang with dad, Sydnee and Nick. Afternoon at the pool with mom were among his favorites, along with Slurpees and ice cram cones which he requested daily.

He will forever be in the hearts of his parents, James and Melanie Sweet, and his best friends...big sister Sydnee, and twin brother Nicholas, who share his infectious smile and love fore everyone around.

He will be missed by his grandmothers Fontella Sweet and Lois Bills, grandpa Sidney Sweet and many aunts, uncle, cousins, and friends.

Special thanks to friends, family, emergency personnel, and Dr. Morris and his staff at Primary Children's Medical Center for valiant efforts.

We love and miss you Tom and look forward to the day when we will see your sweet smile once again.
