Linda, you were in our home last year when Tommy was preparing to help us refinance. My time spent with Tommy during Rodeo Bar-B-Q committee weeks was always a pleasant and fun experience for myself and everyone that worked with Tommy. We were so very happy to see him back in the fold last year. I will always remember Tommy as a true and trusted friend. He was a very good and honest man. God Bless you and your family.
