Tommy Ryan,
You were my Best Friend in Elementary School. Although we haven’t seen each other since you moved away from New Milford, NJ over 40 years ago, I still remember when we had to say good-bye and how sad we both were that day.
To this day, you are one of the most loyal and best friends I’ve ever had. I will always cherish those days together as kids and will never forget you. I was so happy I was able to finally find you again on Facebook this year.
I wish you eternal peace in the heavens above my Friend.
Til we meet again…
Scott Jacob
