My dear friend. Never thought I’d see the day I was writing under your obit. We strayed apart after some years but that’s what friends do, we grow and we replant. What I can’t remove is that you were a Friend to me. I love you my friend and I will miss you. We had our rocky time but you had the heart of a giant man. I’ll never forget that, or you. Until we meet again at the crossroads my friend……🙏🏾

I still can’t come to terms. In the brief time we knew each other, you instantly became like my brother. I’m still speechless. My brother, I truly hope there’s something afterwards so I can see you then.
I’m sorry for your loss Brandy. Tom spoke of you the entire time as well as Alyssa. All he ever wanted was to get home to you guys and marry you. You gave him what no other woman could. You and Alyssa were his motivators to put forth an honest effort to get his act together. He loved you two more than anything else in this world.
My condolences.
