My memories of Tommy go back to high school at North Buncombe High in Weaverville, NC. He always had a smile for those around him. I also had the joy of getting to know his sweet mom, Ruby and a sister, Dorothy, that worked with me in the operating room at Mission. I know he is now rejoicing with his savior and his family gone before.

God's great wisdom placed Thomas alongside our family many years ago. And for that we are so very grateful. Thomas blessed us with his friendship, love, and kind spirit and his loving care of our son Matthew as he struggled with cerebral palsy. Thomas was definitely being the hands and feet of Jesus here on this earth. May God bless your family, and have peaceful rest dear Thomas. You will not be forgotten.
