Memories of Thomas Allen Cosgrove

Always thinking of you,Tommy

Ginger Cosgrove Duncan Feb 26, 2011

Hi Tom! I know it's been awhile since I visited you here. The last time I wrote you a nice long note on your Anniversay it somehow got lost. You know me & computers. & remember how you used to always help me with my homework or let me copy yours. Just another perk of being a twin. You were the best of the best. I miss you so much every day, I'm still crying those big huge tears from time to time. I hope they are taking good care of you in heaven & everything is peaceful. I have been having such a good time at our classmates get togethers, all your friends are such great guys. I'm also thinking about our 60th Birthday coming up. Wish we could celebrate it together.My thoughts & prayers will be with you every moment of that day & I'll be celebrating life in your honor, I know you would want me to & your Dear family will also be celebrating life on our special day. I"ll love you& miss you forever! Ginger

One Year Down the Road

Dylan Cosgrove Jul 09, 2009

Hey Dad,

Can you believe its been a year since you left our lives? It feels like just yesterday and the pain still lingers, but things are getting easier. Mom is doing a lot better now that we've done everything at least once. One Fathers day, one Christmas, etc. It'll make the holidays a lot easier knowing it is possible. I wish you could see Michelle right now. She's getting pretty dang big and her belly button is about to pop like a turkey timer. We're thinking of Alana or Ava Katherine for our daughter’s name. Katherine for Michelle's sister of course. We're going to wait to meet her before we decide though. Meghan agreed to be her god mother and mom already bought a pattern and fabric for her christening gown. Meg's going to be a great god mother.

We're all doing well and miss you so much. It helps that its sunny out right now, but its supposed to rain later. We need the rain and I'm sure you've heard mom's prayers for it.

Say hi to Phil and Vern up there and give Harry Carey my best.

Love you Dad!
-The Boy

Birds

Meghan Cosgrove May 09, 2009

Hi Dad,

I had my first humming bird today on my deck. I thought you'd get a kick out of that. I have a seed feeder up too. Seems to be attracting some birds so far.
I wish you were here to give me some advise on all this bird stuff!

I miss you every day Dad... I love you!

Love, Meg

My Memory

Meghan Cosgrove Apr 10, 2009

Hi Dad,

1 year ago today we found out about your tumor . I still cant believe its only been a year.

I ate my lunch outside in my car today so I could listen to the Twins game :) I thought you would like that. It was a beautiful day today, nice and sunny. Doesn't seem fair that you couldnt be here to enjoy it too.

I had a dream the other night that you called me from heavan. It made me feel really good. You told me that you were sorry but you couldnt remember my name because they dont have names in heavan but that you know I am your daughter and that you love me. Then everything burst into a thousand stars and you told me that they were all my family and that they loved me too...

I love you dad.

Happy B-Day Dad!

Dylan Cosgrove Apr 08, 2009

Hey Dad!

I just wanted to wish you and Ginger a happy B-Day. I know you weren't a big fan of your birthday, but I feel its important that you would have been 58 years old today. Mom sent Ginger some flowers and she sent us a nice email. You've got a great twin there dad. Speaking of twins, you missed a great game last night. You would have been yelling Yab-a-daba-dooo! We sure miss you dad. Today and everyday. We'll be listening to you from heaven as we make it through today. Thanks for a nice sunny day dad!

Love you!
-Dylan

Hey Dad

Meghan Cosgrove Mar 28, 2009

HI Dad!

PS
I am hoping her birthday is August 2nd so I dont ever have to have a birthday again :) Cosgrove's dont particularily like their birthdays... do they? haha

Love your daughter,
Meg

Your New Granddaughter

Dylan Mar 24, 2009

Hey Dad!

I'm sure you already know this, being in heaven and all, but I uploaded a bunch of pictures of your new Granddaughter! At least we're 90% sure she's a girl. Her birthday will tentatively be August 7th, so another Leo girl to add to the mix. I promise that I'll try to be as good a father as you were and that I will teach her how to juggle. I hope you're doing well in heaven with Grandpa Phil and Grandpa Vern. I'm sure you're all very proud of us. I'll also make sure she knows you as Grandpa Grover!

We miss you so much!

Love you!
-Dylan

My Memory Dearest Tommy

It's been a little over 6 months since you went to be with our Lord in heaven.I still can't beieve that you are gone. I know that you wnt us all to be ok & just when I think I am, the pain of losing you takes over. My only cosolation is that you didn't have to go on & suffer for a long time. I was so Blessed that God chose you to me my twin. I will be ok & I pray for Rhonda, Me Dylan & Sarah Helen watermelon that they will be ok too. I know how much they love you & how much you loved them. Please ask God to watch over them. Wow & now you're going to be a Grandpa, Grandpa Grover. Grandma Rhonda & the kids are all in their glory! I'll always be thinking of you, especially when I watching Leave it to Beaver & Andy Griffith! I love you Tom! Always, Your Twin, Ginger

Halloween

Meghan Cosgrove Oct 31, 2008

Well, Dad, it's Halloween.

It felt weird all day knowing that you wouldn't be dressing up like Egor tonight to scare the neighborhood kids. One of them asked mom if Egor was out looking for his hand tonight...haha.. you were always so good at that. But then mom told them you were in heavan and wouldn't be able to be here tonight. Gosh, that's sad. I miss you tonight dad. I miss you a lot tonight.

I started my new job this week. It's a lot all at once, but I am going to love it, I can tell. One of my new friends at work and I were talking today and her dad died of lung cancer too, but she was only 7 when her dad died. I was lucky to have you around as long as I did.

I miss you dad. Happy Halloween!

Love,
Meg

My Memory

Meghan Cosgrove Sep 22, 2008

Thank you, Grandma, for leaving such a nice message. I know this has to be so incredibly hard for you! I love you Grandma! I miss my dad so much but I know that he is living on in Dylan, Sarah and I.... and in that special part of your heart too!

The leaves are really starting to get pretty here in Brainerd. My dad loved fall. I miss him alot as the seasons change from summer to fall. Its just not the same without my dad here. Sunday afternoon football just isnt the same without dad here to cheer on the Vikes. Its hard expiriencing all these little things, but I am finding many things to be happy about too... trying really hard for my mom :)

Thanks everyone who visits this page. I love seeing new messages, so please leave one if you can.

Thanks. Love to you all
Meghan

My Dear Son, Tommy

Ginger Cosgrove Duncan Sep 19, 2008

Tommy, You were always such a nice dear son. I just cant believe that you are gone. I will always love you and miss you! Forever, Mom (Mamacita)

Hey Daddy

Meghan Cosgrove Jul 31, 2008

It's been 21 days since you had to leave us to be with God. I miss you so much Dad that sometimes it feels like my heart is going to explode!

I just wish I had one more day to walk into the house for dinner and see you sitting at the table saying "Hey Meg, how was work"? I wish I could have one more dilley bar with you and laugh while hanging out after supper. Gosh, Dad, I just miss you and I wish you were here.

I had so much more to tell you! I hope you can hear me talking to you now in my prayers at night. I really hope you can.

Tonight I was watching the sunset on my deck and thought "Wow Dad knows all these cool secrets and he got to meet Jesus! " It must be amazing up there.

The Cubs are kicking butt this year! I hope you and Grandpa Phil are chearing them on from up there! There have been rumors of Favre becoming a viking! Can you believe it? I think the fans in minnesota would boo him right off the field, dont you? ha!

Me and mom have been watching the twins games. And we have been taking Gracie for rides in the truck every night. She's been barking her head off and missing you too.. I can tell!

I love you Daddy! I want you to know that I am taking good care of Mom.. and her of me :)
I miss you!
Meg
