So many childhood memories flood my mind of Tommy and his family. Tommy and his brothers made my childhood much more enjoyable. Greatly appreciated that friendship. Sorry for the loss of future memories for your family with him. Happy for him on his current Eternal journey. Hope on the start of that journey he can stay a moment longer and touch those left behind and they can feel his presence one more time.
