I don't remember how I started emailing to Tommy the last few years; we went to Woodrow Wilson Jr. High in Danville and somehow connected. He sent me pictures of those days and I looked so froward to hearing from him. He was a nice person and will be very much missed. My heart goes out to his family...Sincerely, Pat Meador Burnette
