Dear Tommy and Donna:

I was reading about my previous clients when I came across your information. I want to tell yo how sorry I am for your loss. I myself had Non Hodgkins Large Diffused b Cell Lymphoma Stage 4, exactly eleven year ago. I am fortunate that I was completely cured and I am now retired and often think of you.. Again, I want to wish you the best and tell you that you are most certainly in my thoughts.

I want to give my condolences for your families loss. Yall might not remember me and my brother Harley, but we grew up right around the corner on Windsor St. I remember going to a couple or Ryan’s B-Day parties and 1 was the Half pipe contest, he came in 1st and me 2nd. I wish I still had the trophy. If Tommy jr reads this I know how it is to lose a brother I lost mine in 2007 I can say it does get easier with time but it will be very hard forever. Talk about him often that keeps his memory alive. Everytime I hear 1 of yalls commercials whoever I’m around I tell them stories about growing up with yall, 1 In particular is when a group of us went out tagging and Ryan got caught spray painting Bob Brecks drive way, everybody ran except Ryan he got caught and never ratted us out but your parents never let him hang with us again and he had to go around the neighborhood sanding fences and painting garbage doors with your dad. We was dumb kids but I will never forget the fun we had at yalls house with the pool, half pipe, work out room. Every mothers dad your mom would let us pick out 1 piece of jewelry for our mothers or in my case Grandmother. Just want to say I will never forget Ryan…
