I'm from Rogersville, and the Mayo's lived next door to me for years. Tommy was 2 years behind me in school. The Mayo's were "FAMILY" as our mothers were best of friends, and we were constantly spending nights at each others house. I had 2 older brothers and the Mayos had 3 boys, so we always had companionship and great friends to play and hang out with. So very sorry for your loss. I KNOW HE WILL BE MISSED.
