Thank you for commenting. I sure miss my dad.
My hearts breaks with the loss of these amazing people. I wouldn’t be who I am today without the love, support and guidance of Brenda and Tommy. Both were wonderful people that simply made the world better. They both had giving hearts and kind souls. Mawmaw was always there to give advice and to love through the good times and the bad. Tommy brought the best out in everyone…always making you smile and laugh. My heart breaks losing them.
I’m so sorry for the loss of Tommy. He was a good friend of my brother Bobby. I didn’t know Tommy but only met him a couple of times. He was my brother’s pallbearer last year in October. I really appreciated Tommy for being there for my brother as a friend and at the end of his life. Praying for all of his family and friends at this time.
Diane Honeycutt, Bobby Branson’s sister.
I knew Brenda since our teenage years and when we got older n married we still were friends .
We played Bingo , everywhere.My son Davidn Tommy grew up being best friends hunting g. Fishing and of course school
My thoughts and prayers go out to D. F. and family for the loss of these two dear friends .
My sympathies to the family of Tommy and his mother, Brenda. She was my 1sr cousin and remember her well. She always called her son, little Tommy. And I thought it was so cute because I knew her little son would grow up to be much taller than her. Anyway, they re together now.
Judy thanks for the compliment…I don’t know if we have met but I would like that.
