Sherry, Ray, Teresa and Jake, Allison and I send our love and prayers to all of you during this time. So sorry we cannot be there but hope to see you in 2021. Tommy was part of our family since I was 12 years old, so it seems I have known him my entire life. From letting me tag along on dates to the movies and Sunday dinners at Granny and Papa's (drinking iced tea), he he was part of our family. I will miss him but know he is with his Lord Jesus whom he faithfully served, and he is no longer suffering. Love to all, Jim and Allison

Tommy was a man of integrity and a true follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. He was a great singer, Sunday School teacher, painter, family man and forever friend. We have so many special memories of our children growing up together and the friendships we all formed. The gospel sings, VBS, birthdays, church outings, picnics and home visits will always be remembered. Time passed too fast and miles slipped in but the bond of true friendship never faded. Sherry, you are our hero for the way you gave Tommy the very best care in the toughest times imaginable and always unconditional love. Ray, Teresa, and Jacob, you were loved by a great Dad and he was so very proud of each of you and your families. The anniversary party you gave he and Sherry honored them so beautifully. He will always remain in our heart and when we meet in heaven, Tommy will probably greet us with, “what took you so long?”

In loving memory of a wonderful uncle. We will love you and miss you always. He was so kind to visit Papa before he died. I remember he visited us and the beautiful 57 Chevy he had when I was a girl. Our prayers are with you and may God bless and comfort you all. He was a special man. O C Welborn was my dad
