To Mr. and Mrs. Hurst,

I will always remember Tory for being one of the few great friends that I have had in my life. He was always smiling and so much fun to be around growing up. He will always be a brother to me. I pray God comforts you and gives you peace at this time. I know that He can and will. My fondest memory of Tory will always be having him as a great teammate, and most of all a wonderful friend who became a member of our family!

Sincerely,

Steven E. Johnson, Jr.
