Fran- I'm so sorry about the
loss of your beloved Tommy. I spent many hours chatting with him as I
waited for my old clunker of a car to be fixed at Sears. He was always
positive and helpful. I'm just glad you had so many years together.
Brenda Hart ~ Brenda Hart, Newport
News, Virginia January 07, 2010 Tommy will be missed by all of
us and will live in our hearts forever until that wonderful day when we meet
again. Our love and sympathy to Fran, Heath, Deanna and family.

I miss you, Uncle Tommy. I
think you were the only one who really thought I was perfect and could
do no wrong. I will be there in purple (our favorite color) for you and
hopefully a calm and strong support for the family. You are much loved
and missed. Spread that smile and humor around heaven, and maybe next
year you could help our Redskins out a little bit!!! I love you. Brinie
~ Louisa Slagle, Newport
News, Virginia January 07, 2010
Dearest friend, and "oldest"
I might add. My tears are for you and your family for I know how much
you will miss your dear Tommy. I do so regret that I was unable to see
him last fall on my short visit back east - but so enjoyed our brief if
not very audible reunion. Tommy will always be with you - in your heart,
in your memories, in your son, and in your grandchildren. May you find
comfort & peace in God's mercy & hope - His Son, Jesus Christ. I will
keep in touch you can bet - 'cause you still have all my marbles!! Much
love, Donna "O"
~ Donna Heath, Clarksville, Tennessee January 07, 2010 Mrs. Scott and Heath, I am deeply sorry for your loss. You and your family will be in my prayers and may God help and watch over you in your time of need. Jeremy Turlington ~ Jeremy Turlington January 07, 2010 Frances, ~ Bob and Jean Carden January 07, 2010 Fran, ~ Belinda Langston, Newport News, Virginia January 07, 2010 O.K. Uncle Tommy, Brinie has
the purple, but I have the Redskins, I expect them to go to the Super Bowl
next year, especially since you and Pappy will be coaching them together.
I'm sure we will be able to hear you coaching from heaven, you have the
voice of 100 angels. ~ Mary January 07, 2010 Fran and Heath, I want to
offer my sincerest condolences. As I try to deal with my own sorrow, I
continue to hear in my head, Don't grieve for me. Tommy is at peace and his
soul is at rest. I met my dear friend 17 years ago, He allowed me to be me
and I did the same for him. I remember the best times, the stories, the
jokes, the laughter, the encouragement and the shoe laces. I will never
forget my friend. Fran; thank you for giving me the opportunity to say "See
You Later". January 07, 2010 Heath, ~ Mary January 07, 2010 Dearest Fran, ~ Judy Allen, Newport News, Virginia

Our sincerest sympathies are extended to Fran and her family and friends at this time.

Lead, Kindly Light
Lyrics by
John Henry Newman, 1833
(21 Feb 1801 – 11 Aug 1890)
Fourth Verse written by Edward H. Bickersteth, Jr.
Music by
John B. Dykes, 1865
(10 Mar 1823 – 22 Jan 1876)
Lead, kindly Light, amid th’encircling gloom,
Lead Thou me on!
The night is dark, and I am far from home;
Lead Thou me on!
Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see
The distant scene; one step enough for me.
I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou
Shouldst lead me on;
I loved to choose and see my path; but now
Lead Thou me on!
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears,
Pride ruled my will. Remember not past years!
So long Thy power hath blessed me, sure it will,
Will lead me on.
O’er moor and fen, o’er crag and torrent, till
The night is gone,
And with the morn those angel faces smile,
Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile!
Meantime, along the narrow rugged path,
Thyself hast trod,
Lead, Savior, lead me home in childlike faith,
Home to my God.
To rest forever after earthly strife
In the calm light of everlasting life.
