Tommy has been missed by me ever since she left Greensboro Georgia. I always looked forward to her visits here. She was a great lady, and always made me smile. I thank God for bringing her into my life and may we let the memories of Tommy keep her light shining in our lives. God bless a wonderful woman. In grief and love

We mourn this loss of this vivid, witty lady, whom we visited in May. She was a hoot! Our years together in Siloam/Greensboro, GA, were rich and joyful. I was her vicar at the Church of the Redeemer in Greensboro for seventeen years. May light perpetual shine upon her.
