Tio Thomas was a great man. Having the opportunity to be a part of the "Hernandez Family" is and will always be a very integral part of who I am. The Love the family has was clearly engulfed in the many BBQ's and family gatherings.

God Bless;
Tia Teresa, Cuz Christina, Elizabeth and Lil Thomas...

We Love you all and are praying for your healing.
Love The Broadway Family..

I know the feelings y'all are having and I pray for a quick mourning period for y'all but I can't say that it will be because I catch myself thinking about my Dad and the tears run, and it has been a year and a half. Your Dad was a good man and I am a better man for spending the time could with him. -Eric
