In loving memory of my big brother Tommy:
Tommy, I will miss you and love you until we see each other again. I will remember you and all the fun we had. Brenda, I love you. I am grateful for the life you gave my brother. He had a wonderful happy life. The children he adored, and the grandkids he loved. Tommy was a great brother, he teased the neices and nephews. He used to tell my kids not to drink with their nose in the glass. He laughed as they tried to do that. He taught them to throw magnets at the refrigerator, and the kitchen became an obstacle course. He was a great son, dedicated always to our mom. Tommy was my best friend, he loved me and tried to always protect me. Tommy give dad and Karen a kiss for me and send my love. I will get strength from your kindness and love. I love you Tommy and I always will. Your little sister, Sharri (Conley) Powell

In loving memory of my big brother Tommy:
You were my best friend and my beloved brother. I will always love you and miss you. I will remember your smile, your laughter and kind nature. You were the best father, son, brother, uncle and friend. I know I have to go on, and I know you want me to, I will somehow. I find comfort in your strength. I remember how you loved and teased the my kids. When they were little, Tommy told them not to put their nose in the glass when they drank. He laughed as they got their drink all over them. He bought Matthew hamsters, they get loose and he would buy another one. We had hamsters everywhere. Brenda thank you for the love you gave my brother, for the family he had, and joy he lived. he was a happy guy. I love you!!! Tommy, I will see you again. Give dad and Karen a kiss from me and all my love. Your little sister loves you, and I am so proud of the man you were.
