My wife, Patricia, and I were saddened to hear about Tom. It was my pleasure to work with him at Ingram and Associates in new home sales. He was always professional, courteous and helpful to his customers and associates. We will certainly miss him and extend our heartfelt condolences to his wife, Agnes, and family.

I love you Uncle Tommy! No one kinder than you. I was proposed to by my future husband at your house. You and Aunt Mary Bess were the perfect couple! When my child died, you were there to show me how to keep going. Your example helped me every day. You mean so much to all of us. Now you are in heaven and the Battle siblings are reunited at last. Prayers for my cousins. May God give them comfort! Love, Ginnie Battle (from Chicago)
