Catey, I know it has been a few years since I worked with you @ Chase but as soon as I heard the last name on the news my heart sank and I knew that it was someone related to you. I am so sorry to hear it was your brother. My heart goes out to you and to your family during this difficult time and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Tommy liked to sing to everyone. I remember him singing, (That's what I love about Sunday), While we were all in the kitchen at Janie's house.
