Tom had a good soul.
I am shocked and extremely sad to read this in the paper. Tom was a very dear friend to us as well as Beth, Savannah and Austin several years ago. As what happens often we all went different ways but would see each other occasionally. The last time we saw Tom I think was at Ingles on Leicester Hwy with Lee and he seemed very happy and doing well. I can’t express enough how sad this makes me to know such a precious person was taken way too early. My thoughts are with the whole family and anything Jim and I can do we are willing to.
Lee, I was shocked to hear about Tommy’ Passing . So young . Thinking of you and yours at this time . I Would like to talk with you soon if I could have your number. I think of you often. Tommy passed on my birthday. Love you.
Lee, I was saddened to learn about Tommy. My heart goes out to you and Spencer. I know from experience how painful it is to loose a child. It does not matter how old they were…in reality we are not supposed to loose our children. All I can say is it takes a long time to adjust and find a new normal. Be kind to yourself and patient. My faith helped me more than anything. Let your friends support you and take care of yourself. I am so sorry for your loss. If I can help in any way give me a call. 828-808-4198.
My prayers are with you, Spencer and Tommy’s children.
Take care. Linda
