Three days later I received one of the worst pieces of news I have ever heard in my life. In three days time I will grieve for an amazing young man who lost his life so tragically. But the wonderfull memories I have of Tommy will live in my heart forever. On this day last year I flew back to England from San Fracisco with some of the best memories of my life.

My husband stayed on the mountain, trying to keep people from walking over you on the damaged trail. We both felt very impotent and wished we could have done more. I have often thought of you since. I just wanted to say that I was very impressed with Brittany: she was such a brave little person! I’m sure she will grow up to be a wonderful woman. Our thoughts are with you all. Best wishes for peace in the New Year. Elisabetta Bianchi Issy les Moulineaux France Dear Botells family,

I can only imagine how beautiful it is to be in the presence of our father. You have paved a way for God to work his magic, and you have shown Noah how to be strong. He is reading his bible every day, and you would be so proud of him as a friend. Your goodness is being recognized every day, and building strength in those who you held so dear. I know now, after seeing my son in awe of God's power that you are so very happy. How blessed we are to have known you, and that through your life we have become better people. Sing with the angels, and dance for joy. We will meet again someday, with new bodies, and live forever in peace. We love and miss you, but even a glimpse was enough to know how happy you are, and I couldn't ask more from God. Shalom dear friend. Tommy,

This horrible thing that happened to you was wrong and should have never happend to such a nice boy. I don't think I will ever understand why. No, I will never understand why.

While I was in England, your cousin Allister, bless his heart, called me Grandma a few times, thats a first, I think he did it for you, there you go again bringing out the best in others! Al is growing up to be a fine young man, as I know you would have done too. The next time you 2 would have met would have been at your Great Grandpa Tom's 100th birthday, which is now only 3 years away. Tommy, when you do finally see your Great Grandpa Tom, take care of him, okay? I know he can be a bit of a curmudgeon (look it up, do they have a dictionary there?) but he does have a heart which I know that you will be able to reach. Thanks! Love, G-Ma Carolyn.

She is calmer than Bear, but she can and will fight back! I know you are happy up there, but I miss you and I want you back. That was the one thing that I didnt get for Christmas. On New Year's Eve we're going to a pig roast. My horse charged at one of my friend's horses and I was riding it. I miss you but we all miss you. Dear Tommy
