They say the greatest accomplishments you can have in life are the ones you leave behind. If that's the case then Tommy is a very successful and accomplished man. He helped raise two wonderfully well rounded, God-fearing children and has no doubt left an enduring picture of Christ's love and grace in the memories of his grandchildren. Even Baby McFarling who we will meet soon, will have Tommy's wonderful influence in his or her life through Matthew. I am heartbroken for Matt and Michelle and that Baby McFarling may never feel Grandaddy's embrace here on earth, but I know that Tommy holds that child's heart forever in heaven. Brock, Brayden, and the baby have one amazing guardian angel watching over them now!
The family is in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Brad and Lesha
