Betty & Family, So sorry to hear of Tommy's passing. I know this has been a very difficuly year for all of you. Sorry I couldn't make it but please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. As Lynn said, he's not in a wheelchair any more. I have been thinking about "His song", " I Won't Be a Cripple Boy in Heaven," and how true it is. He was a very special young man who was blessed by God to achieve so much more than anyone thought would have been possible in the beginning. May God bring you the Peace & Comfort that passes all understanding. Love to you all. Annette Burdonne Worthy, Kingston Tennessee.

One of the most courageous people I have ever known. God sent you to our family and to Rhonda. You have been so good to her throughout the years and have always put her above yourself, just one of the many ways you showed your caring and giving personality. You have been an inspiration to me in so many ways, you never failed to make me laugh. Can't wait to see you on the other side. Love you bunches and miss you more. Your Niece- Laura Bussey
