OUR PRAYERS TO THE FRIENDS AND FAMILY

I knew Tommy and Toby for as long as I can remember. We all grew up together at Church of the Good Shepherd. I know Tommy had some tough times in his life. But I can't think of a kinder, more sincere soul. I didn't see him much in recent years -- maybe at a yard sale or the coffee shop -- but every time I ran in to him, he was so delighted to see me and ask about my family. He thought the world of my mother and father and my late sister, Melinda Nunn. He loved people. Rest in peace, brother.
