Love and prayers to you, Cheryl and your family.
I remember the first time I met Tommy. He was the coolest guy my best friend Cheryl ever dated. I was glad when they decided to get hitched. Tommy had a special way of making me and everyone feel special and welcome. A genuine heart. Now that he has returned home to glory. I pray for comfort and peace for the Barnhill family. That they feel the loving arms of our Lord Jesus Christ wrapped around them. I pray that we can celebrate Tommy’s life by living ours to glorify our Father every day. In a blink of an eye.
