I knew Tommy in high school. He was a sweet guy. I wish I had known he was ill, I would have sent him some cards and prayed for him. I'm praying for his family during this time.

May God comfort you and yours Katie in this time of need .
Tommy and I became good friends junior year at Daniel Boone high school. I have so many great memories of us going to concerts and hanging out together. We had a lot of things in common and he had such a great sense of humor. Even though we did not get together as much as we used to in recent years we never lost touch, he was one of my oldest and best friends. I want to send my heartfelt condolences to his mom and family. I will miss Tommy very much.

Katie and Family, just want you to know that even though its been many years since we have had contact I had Tommy on my mind most recent in the last few days. I hope that is consoling for you to know because it sure was for me. A simple beautiful memory of Tommy came to me and I wondered where he was now and where you were Katie. I think the veil that separates us is very thin. May you be encouraged that he made a sweet impression on my heart. Love to you and your family! Debbie
