My childhoond has very fond memories of seeing all my Aunts and Uncles playing cards and bringing their "change jar, bag, or hidden coins" to see who was gonna be the big winner. My best true story is remembering Uncle Tommy rooting around for Aunt's Sue's purse from the truck with a lot of "F bombs+" and yes, that is the God's honest truth. I still share this story to this day and we laugh until we cry and hold our sides.
Uncle Tommy had a very gentle kind hearted SOUL - He was so easy going and seemed like you had a Friend for Life after meeting him. The world could use some more "Uncle Tommy's" in my book and there is a speical place in my heart for him. It was a privilege to have in my childhood and having the fun memories.
Until we meet again Uncle Tommy....Cowboy Up and God Bless to the Family and Loved Ones left on earth to mourn this sweet gentle spirit that left us way to soon.
