I met Tommy when I was 13 years old, and always adored him. He used to take me for rides in that old red Mustang, and turn the music up, I thought I was so very cool! Tommy was always sweet and kind, and I really loved having a good laugh with him. He will be greatly missed, my love to his family.

I would like to offer my sincerest condolences to the Sparks family during this difficult time. I hope that you will find comfort and peace while reflecting on cherished memories and times shared with Tommy.I hope that you will also find comfort in God's promise to totally eradicate death and the emotional pain often associated with losing a dear loved one in death. (Rev21:4) He has promised a grand day when all of our family members that are in his memory will be ressurrected to life on a paradise on earth. (John5:28,29) What a wonderful day that will be to welcome them back! I hope by reflecting on Gods promises for the future it will give you a positive outlook for the future.
