My deepest sympathy, I loved our father very much. He was an amazing father, loving, giving, and dependable. I miss him terribly.
From the deepest part of my heart,
His daughter,
Kimberly Patricia Cowart
My condolences to family and friends. I knew Tommy in my very early teen years and his first wife, Deborah, and his long time friend, Larry Stevens. For what I remember of Tommy, he was a fun loving, teasing, sort of person. Many of us have come together again via the social internet since growing older. Some have had the pleasure of knowing each other throughout their whole life. I am blessed to find old friends through the social media and to discover how their lives have been. I would not have known many of their lives outcome without social media. I feel that even being unconnected throughout the years, my love of all my friends has lived on…. even for Tommy. I did not know you well, Tommy, but your friends and family, I am connected. I pray for peace. It was just yesterday, we were but children. .
Thanks for your service tommy rip:
Known Tommy since childhood. He would walk behind me and toss rocks at me. Strange courtship i know. But it worked. Tommy had a laugh and since of humor all his own. A strong man, never weak. Always lending a helping hand to others. Loved with all his heart. Losing Tommy, is a loss for everyone who knew him. Memories, will keep him alive in our minds and hearts. ❤❤
Love always, Deb
May you rest in peace. And may all that know and love do you find comfort at this time.
