Every memory that I have of Uncle Tommy involves laughter. He could crack a joke with a straight face and then grin because he knew he got you.He was one of the kindest people I know.I hope you know how much I wish I could be there with my family. You are in my heart and my prayers. I love you all and will treasure my memories of happy times when we were all together. Love, Teresa and family.
