Dear Family: I have known Tommy for many years and he was a true friend. We went to church together and we played softball during those years. I pray for the family and many friends. Go rest high on the mountain!

So sorry to learn of Tommy's passing. Joe Bray and Tommy were good friends. Leta and I spent great times playing spoon and cards over the years. We loved watching our kids play and eating chips and dip. Kyle was such a cute little boy and Shelly was a precious child. With love, Brenda Bray
