Tommy – you were such a survivor I can’t believe you are gone! I am so sad – I wish I had known – I would have certainly been there for you! We shared a lot of good memories and you gave me a wonderful son who is a great comfort to me. He is the best of both of us! You will always have a special place in my heart and I will never, ever forget you! (Show love to the those who are special to you – you never know when you will have that opportunity again.)
GOD
BLESS YOU TOMMY!
