My deepest sympathy to all the Ford family. Like many other kids of school teachers, my sister Melinda and I were part of Mrs. Ford's nursery school in the old house next to First Baptist Church.
I remember playing with Tommy and Johnny Mac there and being part of church activites.
From the write up, Tommy gave so much of himself to others and that is a good legacy indeed.
My prayers are with you all.

Tommy will be missed as we have missed his parents. I've known him and the awesome Ford family almost all my life.
Before I attended kindergarten, Tommy's mother gave me and my sister Nancy Filla loving care in her day care while my mother Austine Filla taught school. What wonderful memories I have there with Mrs. Ford and her children.
Also, my sister and I went to school with Tommy and Johnny.

I would like to express my sympathy to the family of Tommy Joe Ford. I was raised in Angleton, Texas and went to school with Tommy. He was always a very nice and pleasant person to be around.
I really don't know how to express myself so I will attach a verse that I think fits Tommy.
Not, How Did He Die, But How Did He Live?
Not how did he die, but how did he live?
Not what did he gain, but what did he give?
These are the units to measure the worth
Of a man as a man, regardless of birth.
Not, what was his church, nor what was his creed?
But had he befriended those really in need?
Was he ever ready, with word of good cheer,
To bring back a smile, to banish a tear?
Not what did the sketch in the newspaper say,
But how many were sorry when he passed away?
