Sometimes we wish that we could do and say everything that could help one soul. I pray to God that my cousin was able to call apon the Lord before he took his last breath. This child lost his baby sister one week before he was born. He lost his grandmother in December 2006. He lost his mother in January 2007. Unfortunately he never knew who his real dad was. My heart hurts for the life that this child lived.I pray that God takes and shows Thomas Wszolek the love he should have felt for the last 24 years.
Thank you Lord.
Love you bubba,
Your cousin , Mindy

His mother never told him who his father was or did she not know either?

Well that person though it was important enought to bring it up.. sounded as if he might have wanted to know who it was. So yea I think it does matter. Who wants to go through life not knowing who thier parents were??????

Oops sorry, it appears I mistakenly found the obituary page. I'll need to make my comments elsewhere.

Did the person who hit Mr. Wszolek stop? Why are some more interested in the identity of his father than how the gentleman died? Focuse people...focus...how could his death have been prevented to avoid future occurances....?

I am not. Someone commenting on him brought it up,,why? I don't know. I simply asked about it. The article does not mention hit and run so I would say the person stopped.

If they stopped...at least someone did something right. Hard to find these days.

Everyone goes through life and at times thinks the world hates them. I at times feel the same way. What alot of people fail to realize is that you may think the world is against you and you have the worst life ever, but have you ever thought of another persons life. There's always someone out there with a situation much worse than your own. Tommy had a rough life and I'm sure that he suffered through many events in his life with the passing of his mother and our grandmother. When I stop to think about the situation, I soon realize that my life has been a piece of cake after considering what all he has gone through. I hate that all of this has happened because Tommy was one man I can say had the biggest heart and full of love. He would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. All he needed was tender loving care and the open arms of family. We sometimes get to busy in our lives that we don't think about others when they need us the most(which is a shame but we are all guilty of it). It's called pure selfishness. All I'm saying is please look at the lives of others before you think yours is hard. Open your arms to your family because you just never know when your last visit with them will be. We take for granted the people in our lives and assume they will always be there. God has a reason for everything. I believe he took Tommy home to be with the ones he loved the most (his mother & grandmother). Now he is back in their arms and safe from harm and hard times.
Tommy, the kids & I will miss you and we love you. You will always be in our hearts. You are home now with the Lord and he has great plans for you.

In our prayers,
Michelle O. (cousin)

Sometimes we cant help it if we dont know our dad. Yes it is always a great thing to know who your parents are. The most important thing in life is to know if they knew who the father of the fatherless is. God - Our father up above.
