Dear Tommy-

Melissa and I will miss you! Melissa would always run into you at the Gym in the morning at our Quest Club Trips and enjoy your company!

I always enjoyed our time together while we where working at Quest or just hanging with the Boys from Quest! Whether we where working or playing you where always their with a great Spirit!

I read your Obit and it mentioned the care you took with your family and property. I remember Friday afternoon conversations with you that it was time to cut the lawn and get the house ready for the family weekend events! It always brought a smile to my face!

You have fought the good fight my Friend and now it's time to rest in peace. God bless you and your family!

Sincerely,
John and Melissa Bowlin
