Dear Barbara, Kevin, Yvette, Mark, Steven and Christine, I wanted to extend my sincere condolences to everyone. Nikki and I are so sorry we were not able to do so in person. He was a wonderful man and the only grandfather Nikki knew, as my dad passed when Nikki was a baby. We will always remember his smile. He and your family will remain in our thoughts and prayers. We believe he is with you everyday, we just cannot see him, but he is watching over you and sees all.

All our love,

Nikki, Eddy, Ayanna Richards and Nancy (Anne) Chase

To Kim Gomes and the Tomlinson Family, sorry for your lost and my sympathy goes out to each one of the family members. Got a change to meet Mr.Tomlinson and wife each time I went to R.I and let them meet the grandson (Keron) that Kim allow me to raise. Mr Tomlinson got a chance to talk to Keron and seen him grow by me coming by each time I was in town. We will still keep making that visit each time we come in town.It won't be the same because he and his wife always greeted us with a big smile and welcome us in there house. Mr Tomlinson will truly be miss. God Bless
