A wonderful 50th birthday from us to you.

March 15, 2014

We miss you so very, very much!!! CUBS are still doing poorly. I will always remember all your great baseball games at Quigley and our great day at Wrigley Field when you were 12 and our city championship when you were 15. Mom and I will always remember our days in Las Vegas and at local race tracks and bars. Are there gambling establishments in HEAVEN? If so put something on the CUBS to win the world series----in 2016.

Tommy continues to be thought of nearly every day. He was a dear friend, and dearly missed. May he be at peace in heaven, and may he welcome his sister Rose with open arms. I am so sorry that the beautiful Rose is no longer with us. May God bless them both, as well as the families and friends who miss them dearly.

To the entire Wojtowicz Family,
It hurts so much to see you all in so much pain and sorrow... devastated by the tragic loss of Tommy. All my life I have admired all of you for your close, beautiful family ties and values, always being there for each other through happy times (of which I have many fond memories), and now the saddest imaginable. But I know in my heart that, with the help of God, you will overcome the grief, and heal together, and be left with only the fondest memories and smiles of Tommy's too short but wonderful life. God Bless You All!
I love you.
Your niece and cousin,
Anne Lave

Thanks for the memories Tom and may you rest in eternal peace in the arms of our Lord!

To the Wojtowicz family,

It is a very sad day to hear of the loss of such a great friend. Tommy and his uplifting spirit has always been a joy to experience, and all will surely miss his presence. May we forever remember all the joyous moments he contributed to so many. May God bless you Tommy. I will miss you dearly!
