To Georgetown, Tyler and fsmily:
I am so sorry for your loss. I always enjoyed working with Tom. I remember one time, he sat down by Elmer, Elmer looked over and smiled, then pulled Tom’s ponytail. I said, Elmer,” he smiled again. Sure missed working with him when he retired.
I am praying for you and your family. God bless you all!
