He volunteered for the Kids for Life Organization, which helped disabled children enjoy a day on the rink. He spent the afternoon pulling them around on sleds, and the experience warmed his heart.

    Some often use the phrase "gone but not forgotten." But Tommy is not gone, and he is far from forgotten. He continues to live in our hearts always. He proved to us that a lifetime is not measured by years, but by the amount of lives you have touched within the years you are here. Tommy was only 12 years old and in his short time here, the number of lives he has touched is simply countless. He lived, loved and laughed and always did it with a smile and a helping hand. Our hearts will hold the memories we have of him and we will always greet them with a smile. He is the very treasure we found along our way.

    By giving this award, we are doing what Tommy loved doing, we are helping others. The Meo family hopes that this recipient grows up to be the fine young adult that Tommy never had the chance to be.
