Thomas “Tom” Cullen Manning
May 31, 2003 – November 21, 2022
I am Leah, mother of Thomas, or Tom, his preferred name. It was hard for me to let go of saying his name, Thomas, while the world knows him as Tom, so I continue to call him Thomas, because he will always my little Thomas. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for wanting to know more about my journey!
First, please know that I am new to building a place for this journey to land. When I was contacted by the NBC Nightly News team this past Wednesday, I knew that I had done it! This story, and the impact it will have, IS GOING TO BE HEARD! In the meantime, I’ve posted a few pictures of Thomas throughout his life.
