Dear Pam, Elyse, Ben, and all of Tommy´s family and friends,
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Tommy was a good guy and left this world way too soon. He is now an angel watching over all of you. He has left behind an amazing legacy of which I am sure he was so proud. I will keep him and all of you in my prayers.
