Jennifer,  Your dad's eyes brightened each story he told me about your growing up years.  He truly was a good person and he definitely cherished similar memories.  He will be waiting for you and there will come a day you are going to have your Daddy's arms hugging you again. 

Every daughter needs a hero and you were always mine! Growing up you were always bigger than life and made everything so much fun. From building forts out of boxes to protect me from when you'd be mowing grass to always checking the air and oiling all the parts on my bike to keep it in tip top shape or putting a favorite record on and blasting the music while I danced and sang, I have so many wonderful memories and I miss you more everyday. Thank you for everything and until we meet again! Love always, Jennifer

“I went to the movie”! 
This was Tomo’s standard answer when Pam would ask him what he had done that day. What could we all do but smile. It was hard not to smile when Debbie and I were with Pam and Tom. His jokes were horrible and his life experience’s straight out to Tom Sawyer. 
You will be forever cherished and always in our hearts and I know we’re to find him, coming into San Bernardino on Route 66.

Tom was the best thing that ever happened to my sister 

Tom, who am I supposed to harass between listening to your jokes, poking fun at political issues and talk cars with?  Oh and yes Elvis music as well.   Of course it was all in good fun, but fun to see your expressions as you described things were probably the best.  If I had ever had a brother, it could have been you.  It was like you were so similar to my Dad in your car stories and the rebuilding of the treasured vehicles.  You must have been my brother by another mother!
To say you are missed in an understatement, starting with your family but most of all by my Bestie Pam as well as all your Friends .  
Who's stories am I going to get to listen to when I make it to the Fireside Inn ?  Jokes will never be the same again, I believe you got the bigger kick out of watching some of us roll our eyes at times but never stopped you from finishing those jokes because we knew the punch line.  
Thank you for being my friend, I'm the little blonde girl that use to squat to walk under the vehicles my Dad worked on and got grease in my hair.  From the moment I meet you I knew your daughters had similar stores, maybe now I will be able to hear some of Jennifer's memories.
Fly high my friend .
