Shirley,So sorry to hear of Tommy's passing, especially so soon after your mother. I pray that God will comfort you during this time and hold you and your family in His loving arms.
I just today, June 13, heard of Tommy's passing. Tommy was a schoolmate of mine and my brothers (JT, Jimmy, Bob, Donald & Jack) and sister (Jayne) in Ore City. Tommy was always such a nice person and we were all proud of his service to our country. Please know that we are remembering the family in our prayers. God draws very close to those who mourn. God bless you at this sad time.
Shirley, You and your brothers are in my thoughts and prayers.
