    To Karen and Family,
    Tommy, a valuable friend and member of our men's bible study class at New Prospect Church. Tommy would begin our class by reading the introduction to the lesson; his gift of making the start of the gospel truth will be remembered. When I think of Tommy, I am reminded of how kind and so very polite he always was. Yes, Tommy was always ready to give a helping hand, you could count on him. Karen, we are so very sorry. Please remember, the Lord said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28
    God Bless!
    Your Friends,
    Joe and Trish Maggio
