TOMMY THOMAS TO CELEBRATE 89TH BIRTHDAY




Tommy Thomas, husband of the late Mildred Nancy Catherine Miller Thomas, who passed away on July 28, will celebrate his 89th birthday on Friday, August 19. Tommy was born in Madisonville, Tennessee and until a couple of months ago he lived in the same house where he was born on the outskirts of town. He is now living in an assisted living facility in Sweetwater. Tommy is pictured above with his late wife Mildred. Mildred is also pictured in a separate photo. The third photo is of the wood stove that sits in the kitchen of the Thomas home. My wife and I have spent many wonderful times sitting around this wood stove, talking and visiting with Tommy and Mildred. Mildred was a wonderful person and so is Tommy. We congratulate him on his 89th birthday. The photos are compliments of Billie Miller of Tunnel Hill, GA.
