Carol, you and Tommy moved in next-door to me last September and I remember how friendly you both were. As I've told you I knew something was wrong but I didn't know what. When you told me that Tommy had passed away it shocked and upset me. Although I have not known either of you very long Tommy was always so friendly and helpful to me as a single older lady. He had talked to me in early summer and offered to pressure wash my driveway and we talked about doing something with the front window. He wanted to wait until summer was over when it wasn't so hot. He didn't have to offer do that! But he did it out of kindness. I offered to pay him and he said no. Tommy never got to do those jobs for me but it will be forever appreciated that he offered. He was a hard worker and was forever in the yard doing something to beautify it. I miss seeing him in the yard. One of the last things I saw him do was put up the birdhouse in the backyard. We had a conversation about it and he told me how much you love bird houses (but neglected to tell me how much he loved them also). I am reminded of that conversation every time I look out the window and see the birdhouse. It reminds me of Tommy. God bless you and give you peace comfort and strength.
