As a child growing up Tommy always had a giving heart and wanted to please me. As his mother, I can remember him getting paid and wanting to share his earnings with me. I encouraged him to save his money to fund his own dreams. I will truly miss him and will always cherish his memory but God loved him best and called him home.

So very saddened to hear of Tommy's passing away. He was a good man. I met Tommy through my husband, Mark, also now deceased. Mark always spoke so very highly of Tommy. My deepest sympathy to Tommy's family and closest friends. Job 23:10 - He knows the path that I take, and when He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.

John 14:1-4
Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God[; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.

May God continue to bless and comfort each of you during this time of bereavement.

Respectfully yours,

Elizabeth Yonte' Gaines and
The Hawkins Family
