Alice, My heartfelt sympathy for the death of your dad. Though I only knew your dad briefly, it was obvious at your wedding that he was greatly loved and admired. His positive attitude touched the lives of many people and his loss will be felt by all. May you find peace and hope in the fact that your father lives because Christ lives. Lou Rymsza

We didn't know your family, and we knew Tommy only because he was the best newspaper carrier we ever had. When I saw the name in the paper, I knew it had to be the same Tommy Lemons. In severe weather he would not make us old folks walk that long walk. He would bring the paper up to the chair on the side of our garage. If a paper was ever missed, or a section missing, he was right there. We lost our son at 56, two years ago, so we know how it is to lose someone that that you love at such a young age. We wish you the best of everything, Shirley and Bill Austin

Alice, I know the rods that we traveled together lead us to separate lives. However I can recall the man that stood up for when my own father wouldn't. Through the early years of our journey together I know I was as his own son . He taught me to work on cars and took me in his home as his. I also know he took me into his heart ! Not one that many truly ever seen the real side of . I am so thankful that I had that opportuninty. My prayers know flow to you and Gary , Debbie ,Your mom and all who were lucky enough to know your Dad. So Sorry, Michael
