Angels come in many different ways. People would consider you far from an angel. But in your own special good hearted way you brought a lot of good to people. Now it´s been 16 years. We believe you earned your Angel wings
You gave us good memories which we will always cherish. Also a very strong male presence in Daniel´s life which he carries till this day!
Merry Christmas Tommy and to the Betz Family
Love Carol and Daniel
