Hey Guys. For those of you who dont know me, im Katie. i went to Notre Dame and Herricks with TC. Although i never was best friends with him, i was close enough to know how great of a person he was. Im really glad to see that all of you have too, and are taking the time out to console each other and keep tc's memory alive. All of the letters i have read are wonderful, and they really show how much TC will truly be missed and remembered. I too, did some writing in school today, when we all took a moment of silence in memory of TC. Its not very good, but i just would like to share it with the rest of you. Rest in Peace TC, we'll all miss you. You weren't supposed to leave us Tece,
I thought you'd get up and walk away.
When i saw you in that hospital bed i cried-
But i thought you'd be okay.

You weren't supposed to leave us Tece,
You weren't supposed to die.
I really thought I'd see your smile again,
Or that twinkle in your blue eye.

Last night i saw you dying Tece,
It really made me cry.
You may not have considered me a friend anymore,
But i sure considered you mine.

Looking at your chest slowly pumping,
I just thought it wasn't true.
There was no way you were going to leave us Tece,
No way- it couldn't be you.

People asked you for one more game Tece,
One more walk to the park.
They promised to let you win this time,
and say no joking remarks.

You were a great kid Tece,
Im sorry you had to go.
But where ever you are I know you're happy,
Believe me, I just know.

I prayed real hard that you'd come back Tece,
I know it's selfish to say.
But God knows whats best for you,
Because he took your life away.

So smile like you always have,
As you stand by your father's side.
Crack a joke, and laugh real hard,
And keep your sparkling eyes open wide.

I'll miss you Tece,
I really will.
But until we meet again,
Goodbye.

Rest In Peace.

Please pass this on to anyone who knew TC. We have to keep him alive.
