To make cousin Tommy, growing up you were my best friend, someone I could always count on, you taught me me drive in your 1963 ford falcon , you put in a good word to help get me a job at Palm Beach Pizza, I enjoyed hanging out with you and skating at Blake Field, when you joined the service and we wrote each other all the time,as life moved along we lost touch, but I never forgot you, thank for being such a good person and you will be missed, you´re cousin and more importantly your friend till we meet again. Michael Sullivan.
