To Tommy's family, I went to school with Tommy and his sister's. I married one of Tommy's best friends Durwood Lee Durwood spoke often of Tommy throughout the years. Sadly I lost Durwood on Oct, 5 last year.I know in my heart that the two of them are enjoying being together again.I know it's hard right now but hold on to the memories,and the warm feelings it makes you feel when you see a picture or you find something he loved. Love in Christ and a friend Cathy Powell Lee

To the sisters of Tommy Carr. I am deeply saddened by your loss of your brother, Tommy. The past 50 years have passed by so fast that it is hard fo rme to realize that I am 70 and Tommhy was 61. You all were my favorite kids when I was a teen ager. I wonder why?
I will be thinking of every one in your family. God bless each and everyone.
