I'll make this short, because i don't want to start crying again...I grew up with T.C. and have lived around the block from him for over 14 years... since day one he was the nicest person ever. Its been really difficult coming to terms with the fact that i will never again see him at my doorstep asking to borrow a football, or wondering where my brother was. Also, People were always getting our names mixed up (my last name is Tisei) and to him it was a big joke (as everything was). We used to play tricks on new neighbors and pretend we were actually related... it was hillarious and to this day, people still think we're brother and sister! This past week has been the absolute hardest thing i've ever had to go through, because losing a friend that's so close to you, and so young is a huge tragedy that takes years to fully recover. I hope T.C.'s watching over all of us now, and realizes how extremely loved he was, although knowing him he's probably just laughing at us. Thanks for the memories Tom... I loved you before and i always will! RIP Tece!
