Hello, I heard about Tommy today (Monday). We knew him from about 20 years ago at the machine shop in Lanexa, Virginia at Jimmy's Engine Service. I would some times see him at Patsy's Diner. We enjoyed talking to him and he will be missed. Thanks.

We would like to extend of condolences to the family of Tommy. Skip is Tommy's Uncle Bill Crawford's youngest son. While we did not get to see him a lot, one could see the fun loving yet mischievous side of Tommy. The last two times I remember seeing Tommy was at Aunt Joyce's and Uncle "J's" funerals. We will not be able to attend the services as your cousin Skip has some serious health issues he is being forced to take care of that day. Our hearts and prayers go out to your family. Skip and I would love to keep in touch with your family to check in on you from time to time to see how everyone is doing.
Lloyd and Sarah Crawford

HI, Nesbitt family, just wanted to let you know that Tommy rode the van I drove to the yard and we were friends and I know I will miss him. He did call and kept in touch for a while after he moved. My wife and children got to enjoy his humor and wit and we did have a good time at my home. May you know you all are in our prayers. We will miss our friend.

Lead, Kindly Light

Lyrics by John Henry Newman, 1833
(21 Feb 1801 – 11 Aug 1890)

Fourth Verse written by Edward H. Bickersteth, Jr.

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.
