Sorry for the loss of your love one. Sending prayers and condolences to the family.
My brother, my best friend… I will miss you. I feel lost without you but I’m thankful for the time that God allowed all of us to share with you. I’m grateful for each second, minute, hour and day that I had you in my life. You taught me so much and watching you endure all that you went through without ever complaining or questioning God showed me how strong your faith was and how much you trusted God’s plan. You understood that even in the face of adversity that God would see you through. Many will say that you lost the battle and that cancer won but I know that’s not the case. You gave your life to God before he called you home and because you are God’s child, it is you (Tommy) that won. It was never your battle to fight, it was the Lord’s.
Our physical bodies are temporary but our souls belong to God and are eternal. We love you but God loves you more and you are now in the presence of God and that brings me peace. You trusted God and he worked things out for your good, no more suffering and cares of this world. You made it home so you rest now baby brother. I’ll see you again but until then know that I love you so very much and I’ll keep my promise to take care of Mom and George. Fly High Tommy. Eternally loving and missing you ♥️
Prayers family I miss him so much

Sending my condolences and prayers to the family.
His online obituary is a true testament to who Tommy was. As a co-worker his enduring commitment to being who he was made him a phenomenal co-worker. His kindness and generosity were second to none. He truly will be missed. Family you were blessed to have an angel among you. My deepest sympathy for your loss. Love and prayers! ❤️🙏🏾
Thank you, Laverne. Indeed he was our Angel! He made a difference in our lives, he brought us closer together as a family. We learned to work together to make sure his needs were met, cry together when the pain and suffering was too much for him to bare and pray together for his peace and healing. He was a true blessing in our lives. My sister Vi and her children devoted their lives to caring for him; there is nothing greater than Love. He is gone but never forgotten. We will forever remember that an Angel walked among us! Blessings, Joyce Bishop Graves 🙏🏽🙏🏽♥️

My Heart Beats are Broken in The Storms of life and Death. So Sad to Hear about Your Loss. But Thanks Be to God The Real Father, No More Medicine, No More Pain, No More Doctors Appointment, No More Sick Days, Glory Hallelujah . My Prayers are With The Family and Friends. Again I Say Praise Ye The Lord for Only God knows what He was going through. Peace in The Valley, Jesus Christ Spoke into This Situation. I Love You All.
My condolences to the family!🙏🙏🙏
My dearest Tom Tom, words will never be able to describe how much your sickness and suffering has affected my life. I watched the tears roll down your face and heard your pleas as you cried out to God in pain, Why me Lord? What have I done to deserve this? The same words my Dad used as he suffered from this earthly plague called Cancer, which has stolen the lives of so many among us! My heart broke into, over and over again! I prayed, day and night, asking God to save you, to give you time for a cure to be found, but as time went on, I realized God’s answer was one that I didn’t want to accept…..I even tried to will you to live, and not die! But, God has the final say and in the end, his will, must be done! My last day with you was the Tuesday before God called you that Thursday afternoon! As Calvin and I took you outside in the wheelchair and I pushed you back and forth across the smooth cemented patio, a calmness and quiet came over you! It was the satisfaction you see in the face of a mother rocking her baby, because the motion to and fro, calmed your spirit. You were at peace. When I received the news of your departure on Thursday, I was also at peace! You won the fight of your life! You surrendered your life to the care of your father in Heaven! Finally, the pain and suffering was over, and replaced with an eternal rest! I thank God for you, for all the years he gave us with you! You were as close to my children as a naturally born sibling, the same age as my son who departed this life 23 years ago! You are together again, in Heaven! The joy he felt as you arrived through the gates! Our lives will go on, but never be the same again! We hold fast to the precious memories you left individually and collectively with us all! We will call your name daily and keep you alive until we meet you again, at Heaven’s gate! Rest easy, our beloved, Tom Tom, we will miss you oh, so much, because as much as we loved you, God loved you best! He closed your eyes as he called your name, and your reward is eternal rest!
Love remembers. Aunt Joyce🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️
My dearest Vi, no words can help ease your pain. Just know that you are very close in every thought and prayer. May God bless, comfort and give you and your family peace and strength.
Will see you my, very handsome, kind and humble nephew. We will be never ever forget you. Rest in sweet peace. Will see you on the other side. Love, Aunt Sandi
Thankful for memories
Rest In Peace 🥰
My deepest condolences to my best friend Vi and family
