Delores, Linda and I are so very sorry to hear of Tommy's passing. Although I did not see Tommy often he was a great cousin and Facebook friend and we talked often. He kept me abreast of what was going on. I'm sorry I was not able to attend the services due to bad health problems of my own. I will miss him but I'm sure not nearly as much as you and your family. Please know that all of you will be in our prayers daily. We hope that our Good Lord will bless and comfort you in the sad days ahead. Please do no ever hesitate to call upon us if there is anything we can do for you and/or your family. Our love and prayers forever. Johnny & Linda Rushing
