We were so BLESSED to know Tommy and call him a friend and we rejoice with his precious family that he is dancing with Jesus!
From his family website:
"Goodbye is not forever"
Friends, we are so grateful to have been blessed to be his parents. His life was full of the Joy of the Lord and now he is with Him in glory land! We rejoice at the thought of being with him in Heaven when our journey here is over. Tommy had a muscle condition that had weakened his heart and made his last fight with his recurring muscle problems too much for his heart to handle. We were honored to spend 22 years with him. We are being carried along by the body of Christ..."
The Celebration of Life began with the burial...
Our crew, heading out in True Tommy Attire...(the goal was for everyone to wear plaid!)
And then on to worship GOD and CELEBRATE Tommy's life!!!
