With Heartfelt Sympathy A person that departs from this earth never truly leaves, for they are still alive in our hearts and minds. It will be the little things that you will remember...The quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter And although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memories of these little things that help to push away the pain and bring the smiles back again. A beautiful soul, full of love and faith, ascended to heaven, away from us, but closer to God. I will miss you Tommy. Love Always, Annie Brunson
