I REMEMBER THIS DAY LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY. I WAS THERE WITH TOM,PHIL,AND LEONARD AT LEONARD'S HOUSE. I CAN EVEN REMEMBER THE SONG THAT WAS PLAYING ON THE RADIO AS THEY WENT OUT THE DOOR WHEN GINO PULLED UP RUSSELL BAILEY WAS WITH HIM. I WAS BEST FRIENDS WITH LEONARD'S SISTER, WE WANTED TO GO WITH THEM, BUT LEONARD DIDN'T WANT HIS LITTLE SISTER AND HER FRIEND TAGGING ALONG. MY MOM WAS THE ONE WHO HAD TO TELL LEONARD'S SISTER THAT HER BROTHER WAS ONE OF THE ONE'S WHO DIED IN THE CAR ACCIDENT. THEY WERE ALL IN GOOD SPIRITS WHEN THEY LEFT THAT DAY. I MISS THEM. THEY ALL LEFT THIS EARTH WAY TO SOON. THEY ARE ALWAYS IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS.

I remember Tommy as always happy. He was from Paris, Texas. I live close to there and always think of him while shopping there..
