Dear Tully family

I am so shocked to hear of toms death....

My friend Rita and I had the privilege to know Tom When we were in Sacramento for an internship from May to September 2001 .... we both worked with Tom on wintu in CYA in Sacramento for 6 months and not only was Tom a colleague but he also became our friend .... we had many great memories of our time in Sac ... we went to the water park with Cameron and Lauryn over that summer ... they were so young I’m sure they won’t remember.... and then Tom came to visit us in Ireland the following year ... and stayed in a castle .... I am truly shocked to hear of his death ... and thinking of all the family at this sad time Avril Rea

had the pleasure of working with Fred and Tommy Tully at the Northern Reception Center and Clinic of the California Youth Authority. Finer people are not to be found. Tommy was kind, considerate and professional in all his transactions. My thoughts and prayers to his family.
