What a shock! My family (Floyd and Imogene Seaman) and the Day family were best friends for many years, long before Tommy was born. After Tommt grew up some. his Dad Elvis farmed our family farm across the road from their farm. And later. Tommy farmed it for awhile. In time, after my parents died, I lost track of Tommy and the Day family.

I now own the Seaman family farm and stop by a couple of times a year
To check on it. I am so sad to hear about Tommy, and share your grief.

God bless the Day family. You remain a very important and happy place in my memories.
