My Dear, Dear Tommy. It has been many years since we met at the August 1972 Peachtree Festival in Rockingham. And then we married in May 1977. Unfortunately as a couple we were not very successful. This does not mean I will ever forget the almost 10 years we had together. Since Day One in August 1972 I have never forgotten you and I remember you every day as the most wonderful person I have ever known.

I am so sorry to hear of Tommy's (Chuck) passing. He was a dear friend for many years. Oh the memories keep flowing from my mind. We had some of the best times I've ever had in my life. Amanda, Joey, Harry Jr. and Mr. Harry, I know that you will miss him dearly but he's got it made. It is us who must stay here in this mess. Much love coming from an old friend. Lulu
