Even though we'd lost touch for many years I am truly saddened to hear of Tom's passing. I certainly could have been a better friend to Tom but that chance is now gone. Jackie I only hope you find comfort in the beautiful family you and Tommy built together.

To Jackie and the family, my prayer for you is peace and comfort with the loss of Tommy. He was a loyal and hard working guy who treasured his family. I was remembering this morning how the spark of a full fledged flame started at the old ballpark while Roy Orbison’s pretty woman was playing on the radio. Bless you all in your time of grief. RIP Tommy!

My heart is completely broken. Tom was such a wonderful man and will surely be missed. I am so happy for the memories that we all shared as families and with our common bond of Quinn. You always brought a smile and I know heaven has gained an amazing angel. You will remain in our hearts and memories will always keep you with us. My thoughts, prayers, and hugs go out to your family for their loss. They have the best Guardian Angel.

Love, Kathy and Bill. (Mamaw and Papaw)

What a beautiful tribute. You’ve built a legacy and your love for your family truly shines through in every picture. You should be so proud! I hate that you and your family had to experience this horrible tumor, but I hope your family knows how close you’ll still be and wow what a guardian angel they now have. “Love is stronger than death even though it can’t stop death from happening, but no matter how hard death tries it can’t separate people from love. It can’t take away our memories either. In the end, life is stronger than death.”—Anonymous

My favorite memory is either Courtney telling us about going to the games with you guys or when you two got out on the dance floor at my wedding!

Praying for all of you,

Denise Rooney and family.

May the peace which comes from the memories of loved shared comfort you now and in the days ahead. All our love, Patti & Rick

Mr. Hutchings,

While I only met you once, I do want to thank you for raising a lovely daughter who has become a wonderful teachers. I taught with Courtney last year and it was obvious that her family was first in her heart. I am thankful that she had time with you these last months. It is obvious that you were dearly loved, and a wonderful husband, father/grandfather. This is an amazing legacy. Rest In Peace and now your final healing has come.

Respectfully,
