I’m just discovering this today…. I am so sorry for your loss… I also know these times are bittersweet…. We are often thankful our loved-ones are no longer in pain and happy for them to be in the glorious presence of Jesus & Father God and reunited with others who preceded them “home,” but their absence here lingers. As “Lindabell” mentioned, it was always a joy visiting with you in your childhood home, spending occasional nights, and enjoying the love felt there. Our school time friendship remains a true joy in my life. May God comfort you, Tommy and family. I would love to see you. Call or text 423-943-2573. Love you always … Debbie

Freda and Tommy I am so saddened to hear the news of your sweet Mom passing. Loretta was always so welcoming to me and I cherish the memories of being in your home. Even though I have only seen them a few times over the years it was always so comforting knowing they were still there in the “neighborhood” that was our childhood home. It’s a blessing to know that she and Bill were only apart for a few days and now they are reunited. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers and I send my love to you both.
