Henry, we are so sorry to hear of Tommy's passing. We will miss seeing him driving that little green car, taking strolls along the street moving slowly but surely and sitting on your front yard in his favorite chair under the tree. We know their is no greater bond than that of a parent and child, but please remember as long as you keep Tommy's memory in your heart he will never truly be gone. We love you and we are praying for you and your entire family.
