I'm very sorry for your loss and my loss of a classmate. Todd was a nice guy and I hate to hear he's gone. I wish I could have come to visitation, but I have been very sick. Just wanted to say something since I couldn't be there. Good Bye Todd, God Bless You!

I am so sorry for your loss. I was shocked to see that Todd has left us at such a young age. I couldn't make it to the viewing or
showing because I am recovering from knee surgery.
I can't begin to know your grief, but just know that you are in my
thoughts.
Love,
Sherry Jo

Terry and Tyler, Mike, Susan and Matt,
Our family is so sad to hear of Todd's untimely death and of your great loss. Although we did not spend a great deal of time together, earlier in our lives, we did. As a step-brother, Todd used to make us laugh, at times, until we cried. He would talk about movies that he saw and he would do impressions of people that he knew that were really hilarious. I will remember him as a very funny and kind person. Because I have been far away for most of the last 20 years or so, I have not had much contact with him, but I truly feel that he had a lot to share with the world that was very good and I pray that you will find peace and comfort as you go through this day and the weeks to come.
With our love and prayers,
Alan, Laura and Samuel Caruthers
