Remembering Tommy, November 3, 2025
I rose early Monday morning October 27, 2025. Shortly after 5 am I stepped onto the side porch to bring in the papers. It was a beautifully clear pre dawn sky and as I was admiring the wonder of Orion I witnessed the appearance of a bright burst of light morphing into a curved trail of light before disappearing into the sky.
It was beautiful. It was awesome. It happened quickly and seconds later I realized what I had witnessed – a meteor or a shooting star. Why was I up so early? Why was I on the porch at that moment? What did it mean?
I’ve come to believe it was Tommy traveling across the sky, watching over us, spreading his love and protection to his ever growing family. His time on earth was short, but nevertheless precious. Fleeting yet meaningful.
For those whose lives he touched, he lives on in our hearts and his spirit will always be with us. For those who have come to know him over the past 19 years, may we continue the pursuit of understanding, diagnosing and treating the diseases of the brain and be sensitive to all those who may be suffering. Each one of us will make a difference.
