Tommy, you were my little brother, although I was your aunt I was only two years older than you. Crazy, coming from a family of seven kids space 20 years apart. I loved you dearly and we had very special moments together that I remember vividly as we grew up together. You will always be in my heart. Love, your Aunt Liz
