Not sure what to say?





Tom, I always told you that one day you would find the love of your life...when Lu told me you and Lovee had hooked up I was so happy for you...I knew it had happened. I just learned of Lovee's passing. I'm so sorry. Cherish the memories. May you find peace in knowing that you had what some people spend their entire lifetime searching for and never find. You and your family are in my prayers.

R.I.P. Girlfriend! I think about you everyday. You are one of the most courageous people I know. I'm going to miss our long late night talks and the laughter. I'll never forget our rides to the ctca singing as loud as we could to the songs on the radio. One thing you told me over and over again is that Doc was the best thing that ever happened to you and how much you loved Doc and Booger. My deepest sympathy goes out to them and your extended family. Love ya!
