Remembering Tombol-28 Years Old-Almost 5 Years in Heaven

Dear Tombol,

Our love for your extraordinary presence on this earth has not diminished. We think of you often,
your bright, unabashed smile, brilliant intelligence, quick humor and love of life. What a joy to have been a part of it, even though we wish it could have lasted forever!!! Stephanie still weeps during poignant moments of memory of your most special times together-times that will never be erased. Bless you sweet boy-Continue to bask in the glory of Heaven! Happy Belated Birthday!!

Love Always,

Happy Birthday

Dear Tombol,

I am truly amazed at how vividly I remember you. Your warm, smiling face never fades from my memory, but only grows stronger as the years progress. You would have been 28 this week. I think of you often, even though I am far removed from our mutual friends and acquaintances. You tend to do that to people... leave a mark, an impression. You certainly left an impression on me. Happy birthday, Tombol.
