One special man

This is my stepfather "Tommy". He went to join his other father five years ago this past August. He was a very special PopPop to my boys. When Tommy passed, both boys lost a very special person.

Penny what a wonderful way to honor someone you love. To me he looks like your uncle Billy. I never met Tommy but if you loved him I know he was a good man.

Artist Reply: Thank you Jo. Yes he was a good man. He is truly missed.
