Tommy was a man with the biggest heart. I have never met anyone like him before and doubtful I will met anyone like him again. He was and will always be a big part of my family. My heart broke when We heard the news.He was a part of our family since 1998 which had always felt like he was there since day one. He shared happy times and sad times with us. He was family and always will be. I only wish I was able to see him before he left. It is a shock that someone so active could go be gone so soon.

Dear family of Tommie.

I am a former organist under Prof. Talman Thomas at Liberty Bapt Church. Betty was a good friend of mine during that period and very helpful to me. I remember little Tommie and was so sorry to hear of his passing. I will call the Neptune Society to see if the memorial service has already taken place. I would like to be there.



I would like to get in touch with Betty if possible. My phone number is 773-261-5797.

Thank you.

Our prayers are with his family.

Sincerely

Barbara Griffin
