Letter from Tommy's Mom
So if you are looking at this site you can see from the “few” pictures I sent that I am so very proud of Tommy.
Just know who ever is missing him, had admiration for him, love for him and respect for him just multiply your feelings by infinity and those feelings are mine.
I feel like I know most of Tommy’s friends, those he led and those that led him. Because of he and Jennifer’s stories I have lived vicariously with all of you.
I appreciate all of you being his friend, civilians and military. I will keep all of you in my prayers….especially his Soldiers he had to leave behind in Afghanistan in someone else’s care.
Please know, all of you, Tommy had true compassion for all whom he served with from Privates to Generals.
The Army was Tommy’s life and I am so very proud of it.
Brenda Richardson (Tommy’s mom)
