Dearest Kathy, Lindsay, and all of Tommy`s family. Sieglinde and I just wish to let you know our Sincerest condolences in the passing of Tommy. We sincerely enjoyed working with Tommy over the many many years dating back to December 1968 and from Atlanta, Ga., to Chevy Parma, Oh., when Tommy, Mac and I drove the long road home many times together, for Quality Family Time and after, retirement, sharing many GM Memories. Knowing one day, our Living and Loving GOD will complete your Broken wheel of Family Love, to a Forever Family Circle of Never Ending Love.
May GOD extend Peace and Comfort to Each, and Forever Prayers by way of JESUS´s , Cross. Keeping each in our Prayer, Benny and Sieglinde Baldwin
