I remember the first time uncle Tommy ever held Noah, he wouldn’t stop smiling and he had instant love in his heart. I loved that he was never afraid to say what he wanted to say if he wanted to. I will miss your hugs the most they were always my favorite, so strong and inviting no matter how long it’s been since I saw you. I watched a uncle Tommy and aunt Tiffy get married and the love they have for one another was a true blessing and meaning of marriage. Uncle Tommy you’re loved and very dearly missed.

I am sorry I never knew Tommy personally but I know his wonderful, sweet and kind Mother. Through the pictures I feel like I know Tommy. His mother Gayle never lost hope throughout his illness We prayed for Tommy’s healing but God’s will be done. I guess they wanted him in heaven sooner than later Lifting u all up that the sorrow for Tommy will be lifted from u. When u think of him, may your tears turn to laughter again. By looking at the pictures it looked like he had abundant love from his family and he would want u to be happy for him because he is not suffering any more

Sending love and prayers. I'm sure going to miss talking with Tommy online. He was such a great friend and cousin. I wish I had gotten to be with him before he passed. Love Tammy Hensley Roark
