Max, Thelma and family,
I'm so very sorry about TC's passing. He was a wonderful person and will be missed by all that knew him. I can just see him, Venita, my Momma and my Daddy up in Heaven, visiting and having a wonderful time praising our Savior. TC and Venita were special to me and will not be forgotten. I know how you feel, and am here for any of you that need to talk. I pray that God wraps his loving, comforting arms around you all. May God bless you.
So sorry to hear of T.C's passing, he was one of my favorites. There was never a time when I saw him that he didn't give me a hard time even lately when I could tell he didn't really feel well. He was loved and will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
God Bless and comfort you,
Robbie Sutton
