Trudie and Jennifer,
I just heard of Tommy's passing.
You are in my thoughts and prayers. He was such a good man and me and my family were truly blessed to know him. Time is so fleeting (seems like yesterday we helped you move Jennifer) but rest assured he is in a better place and waiting for us to join him, where there is no pain or strife. Take care and God Bless
