I love you Uncle Tommy. Memories of sitting on your porch for those early morning coffee breaks makes me smile. I can see you propping up your feet on your white columns. Our yearly camping trips for family reunions we did our porch sitting early in the morning and we drank coffee and then I fixed everyone a big breakfast! Wow, that big smile and laugh of yours. That was very special to me. The water was a happy place on the pontoon boat. Tubing and knee boarding is where you would join in with the young ones. We had so many great family times together. I will miss you. I am a little jealous that you beat me to those pearly gates.
