Read MoreHi Sharon. I was very sorry to hear of Tommy's passing. I remember him from his days at Batey's and from speaking with him about the rental home you have or did have on Patriot. I own the one on Exeter right behind it. I thought highly of him. He was always nice and friendly. I think Miriam played softball with one of my kids.

Sharon, I was very saddened to hear of Tommy's passing. My thoughts and Prayers will be with you and your family. I have many fond memories of the year I lived with Tommy at "Sunnybrook Farm" on Lovers Lane while we were at MTSU. I will not be able to be with you for the services since our youngest daughter just had surgery in Nashville and we plan on being with her this weekend. Sincerely, Sammy Sells
