To The Tennyson Family:
I Was Very Sorry To Hear About The Death Of Tommy. Even Though I Didn't Know Him Very Well, He Seemed Like A Very Nice Person. I Recognized His Face Right Away In The
1966 Kecoughtan High, Year Book. May He Rest In Peace With His Heavenly Father! And May Those Of You Left Behind Find Peace, In Knowing Tommy's With His Maker, And At Peace!
WARMEST REGARDS,

May your happiest memories sustain you with his physical loss. The more I look at his obituary picture, the more I think he was once a neighbor behind me and he would have lived on Gunby Road in NN.
