We would like to extend of condolences to the family of Tommy. Skip is Tommy's Uncle Bill Crawford's youngest son. While we did not get to see him alot, one could see the fun loving but yet mischief side of Tommy. The last two times I remember seeing Tommy was at Aunt Joyces' and Uncle "J's" funerals. We will not be able to attend the services as your cousin Skip has some serious health issues he is being forced to take care of that day. Our hearts and prayers go out to your family. Skip and I would love to keep in touch with your family. To check in on you from time to time to see how everyone is doing.
