UNCLE TOMMY, NO WORDS CAN EXPRESS HOW HARD IT HAS BEEN TO LOOSE YOU. YOU TOUCHED MY LIFE IN SO MANY WAY'S. AS HARD AS IT HAS BEEN TO WATCH YOUR PASSAGE TO THE LORD I AM SO GLAD YOU ARE NO LONGER SUFFERING. YOU ARE THE BEST MAN I EVER KNOWN AND I LOVE YOU AS MUCH AS I LOVE MY OWN DADDY. YOU WERE MY DADDY TOO BECAUSE I LIVED WITH YOU FOR THE FIRST EIGHT YEARS OF MY LIFE AND THEY WERE THE BEST YEARS. I THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DID FOR ME AND RONALD.I GUESS THIS IS MORE OF A GOODBYE LETTER TO YOU UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN IN HEAVEN. BUT UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN A PEICE OF MY HEART IS WITH YOU AND ALWAYS WILL BE. SO MAY YOUR HEART AND SOUL REST IN PEACE AND KNOW HOW MUCH YOU WERE TRUELY LOVED AND WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. WITH ALL MY LOVE ALWAYS. SANDRA DENISE MAY
