Miss you cousin. You will forever be in my heart. I’ll never forget growing up with you. All the summers that we had together at your beach house. You would always ride your skateboard. Those were the best summers ever. I know you’re with us in spirit. I know you’re with your mom everyday watching over her and planning out all of her blessings. Love you Tommy.
Love always cousin-
Sada Mary ❤
