Sonya,David,Jamie,Kayla Im sorry to hear about your loss Ill miss Tom an awful lot just like alot of other people. I remember Tom, David, and myself used to go to kansas city to see his brother and we used sonyas van and tried putting rims on it to roll in style but we could only get 2 of them on but we kept em on and drove all the way there David drove in the slow lane so people could not see the bad side and Tom sat behind him i sat on the passenger side and got laughed at we we passed cars.
