Palletta, and family, I was so very shocked and saddened to learn of Tommie's passing. There are no words that I can say to lessen the pain, but I pray that God will give you all comfort and peace beyond understanding. I pray also that the memories that have been made with him will carry you through the hardest of times. Hugs and prayers to you all.
