To the Drennan Family. I cannot tell you all how sorry I am to hear about Tommy. He was always one of my most favorite people in the world. I have many fond memories too many to discuss. His sense of humor was my favorite. We could talk about our fathers for hours. Wish I could be there, stay strong.
Bev, Patty and family,
I was so sorry to hear of Tommy’s passing. I always enjoyed talking to him. He always thought I was my mom, Carol. Thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Love, Fran (Vaselakes) Stidham
Patty and Family,

Sorry for your loss. Tom and I grow up together. We went fishing and were in Boy Scouts together. His father took us many places.
Patty, Tammy, Tricia and Tommy, our thoughts and prayers are with you. So sorry for your loss.
My sympathies to the Drennan family. He was one of the Neffs boys, and always such a great guy.
Our prayers and thoughts are with each of you at this difficult time. We will always treasure the fun times that we had together. Tom will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him. May God Bless each of you.
