Read MoreDear Judy,
I was very saddened to hear that Tommy had passed away. When I was growing up and in Birmingham, Uncle Reuben and Tommy included me in many outings despite how annoying a young boy can be.

My deepest sympathies,

Judy,
We were so saddened to learn from Reuben that Tommy had passed away.
We have such a vivid memory of the New Year's Eve we "old folks" celebrated with you two and Reuben at a night club in Birmingham in the mid-sixties.
As you know, Tommy was a brother to Reuben and second son to our parents during the high school years. So many fond and humorous rememberances.
Unfortunately, we have little family remaining in Birmingham so we don't visit....

Judy,
Sorry I didn't make the service. Doris Ingram let me know about Tom's passing. So many memories of us growing up and learning many of life's hard lessons together. It's a shame that we drifted apart has we grew older. Thinking of you.
