So sorry to hear about Tommy, may he now rest in peace in the hands of the Lord,,,,,,my thoughts and prayers are with you
You have left a huge hole in all of our lives. You have fought tremendous odds and won most of your battles. You are our HERO. You lost this last battle only because the odds where to much to overcome. You can rest now. We love you very much and will never forget you.
P.S. Don’t be challenging God to any races.
RIP Tom. You deserve eternal happiness and health. Glad you are with your G’Ma and siblings. We Will meet again.
We are so sad to hear about the passing of Tommy. We loved him and enjoyed all his visits. We tried real hard to talk him into moving to Florida so he could keep riding over to visit us. But he just laughed and said nope, too hot. Plus your not going any way.
We loved his since of humor, his smile, and his jokes. When I asked Tommy when his birthday was, so I could put it on my calendar, he said “7/21/84″ I said really Tom, you are two years younger than my daughter? He said “yup I guess so”. Now I am laughing because I see this was just another one of Tommy’s since of humor moments, because he was born 7/21/71. LOL what a comedian!! He will truly be missed by us and all who knew him. George & I will continue to lift you in prayer. May your tears of sadness turn into tears of Joy as you remember all the happy times. God bless you Doris, Carl and family.
Thank you Heavenly Father, for the wonderful memories we will cherish of our friend Tommy. May you give his family peace and joy as they too think about Tommy and what a wonderful young man he was. Thank you that Tommy now has a new healthy body because your word says in “Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” In Jesus name Amen
Matthew 5:4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Romans 15:13 now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost
Dizzy so sorry for your lost.My heart and prayers are with you
