The Young Angel in Heaven
Loves Horses, Cowboys and FUN.
Heaven will never be Just as it was
Now that T.J.'s life there, has begun.
He'll turn fluffy clouds into snowmen.
And swing on the stars above;
He'll turn golden streets into Basketball courts
And fill up Gods home with his Love.
He'll make Rainbows out of sunbeams.
And find grassy meadows for riding.
His laughter will ring when the great choirs sing.
But he'll hear me when ever I'm praying.
The Young Angel in Heaven is the one
I am longing to see
For the child that belongs now with Jesus
Is the child that belonged once to me.
Yes, the child that belongs now to Jesus
Is the child that belonged once to me.

May God hold you in the hollow of his hand always !
A student of our school, He left his mark upon us.
He was a credit to his friends, his school, and his family.
Those privileged enought to know him, Knew that he was a special person.
Therefore, we have seen fit to honor him and let each of us resolve to
cherish his memory in our own way, that he may continue to live within
our hearts. He was Thomas Jay Anderson.
All of us at THS, faculty and students alike where both shocked and
and overcome with grief, at the untimely death of 16 year old
Thomas Jay. T.J., as he was known to us, he was a student and a friend
who added Adventure and spirit to those he touched.
T.J. was born June 29, 1977. He entered THS in the fifth grade,
walked out as a graduated freshman on May 16, 1994 looking forward to a
productive and funfilled summer, and anticipating entering THS in August
for his remaining three years as a proud THS Lion.
However, June 16,1994, T.J. was taken from us in a tragic automoble accident.
While a student at THS, T.J. was involved in many aspects of school life.
Whether as playing on the basketball team, visiting ---- once again ----
the detention room, or enjoying a typical teen school life,
T.J. added excitement to all school situations.
T.J. was especially proud of work he produced with his hands.
He possessed a deep respect for his land, his animals, and his creative projects.
He was, also, very proud of the fact that he was in the front of the line
when it came to lending a helping hand to his family and his friends.
It was therefore, with the deepest of regret and sorrow that we learned
of the accident that took him from us. There was no one in the entire school
who was not touched by the tragedy.
So many days have passed, and yet
The memory remains,
In the light of day, in the still of night
You come to us again.
We see you as we knew you once;
Your laugh, your smile, and then
We see ourselves at your side
As often it had been.
And so, T.J., we keep you close,
Although we are apart,
And visit with you daily in
The visions of our heart.
Written by: Stacy Roe, May of 1994
T.J."s English Teacher the year he went to Heaven,
UNTIIL THE END Joy would always fill my heart
When someone spoke his name He was always there to lend a hand
When I was in pain or need In the beginning he was just my friend
But then my heart felt more Now I know that love it was,
And that he felt the same I don't understand how or why
The Lord would take such a man My friends all come to comfort me
In this, my hour of sorrow I guess by this they think they're helping
But what they think is far from true Because in them it's him I see
Lending his helping hand
But at Least I know I'm not alone
And someone will always be there In a sense he lives on Written By: Bobby Jo ,,,"T.J.'s Love"
And even now that we're apart
My heart is filled just the same
No matter what. he would understand
And deliver his good deed
Although I couldn't quite comprehend
I thought love was tapping at my door
But before we two could become one
The Lord took him away
And even though it makes me sad
I know he's in good hands
They tell me that it will be okay
And that the day will be brighter tomorrow
What they are doing isn't helping
But making me more blue
Sometimes I wish they'd let me be
I guess they'll never understand
Someone's shoulder to cry on
Someone to always care
In the hearts of all my friends
They give their love which is strong
He'll be with me until the end.
On his Birthday, June 29, 1994
