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.

I had forgotten what a beautiful memorial they had written for tom- thanks for the reminder- to bad he doesn't have more influence on his mom to soften her heart towards james and be a better mom to her kids!
So sad. I can't imagine something like that happening.
Does anyone remember the incredible "talk" James gave about how you never know what the person next to you is going through? I think about that every single day...
I remember James' talk. First of all, talking at your own son's funeral--amazing. Second of all, it was incredibly powerful, honest, and thought provoking. I remember him talking about getting gas on the way home from the hospital and the people in front of him in line were arguing. It seemed so trivial compared to what he had just experienced. Heart wrenching. We love and miss you Tom.
That was so touching. James has always been such a sweet man, and I remember his talk well. My neighbor across the street works with him, and said that everyone loves James.
Taylor is the same age as the twins, so it was hard for me to see that happen to your sweet family.
You're a good uncle, Sam.
