Dear Tomac Family,
I was very saddened to hear of your dad’s passing. I enjoyed my once a month visit when I worked at city hall where he paid the utility bill and we would pick on each other and share a few laughs. He was a kind man and always good to me. Reminded me of my dad. Your whole family has been the same….Kind. Big hearts. Happy smiles.
My deepest sympathies and many prayers for strength and comfort.
