Brunetta, Brian, Mike
I was so sorry to hear about Tom's death. We were out of town and I did not find out until this morning. Tom was a good man and a good friend to all. My dad was especially fond of Tom and James. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I don't know your family, I was just reading the obits and happened to read Mr. Taylors. I was brought to tears when I read about his best buddy Chase. I too am a lab owner, and It just broke my heart. I will be praying for your family and the saddness I know Chase feels too!
Blessings, Kara Jones
