Tom will be greatly missed. I remember the day he told the Sunday school class that he had cancer and that he needed prayer. My heart hurt for him. Things happen so fast. We all know he is in a much better place. He is happy and well. We will all be reunited again some day. We have to be ready.##imported-begin##Sheli Kipp##imported-end##

I have been Tom's "tax preparer" for a number of years, during this time we had created a bond of friendship as well as business. He has been in my prayers for a few months now. I will continue to pray for him and hope he has now found peace with the Lord.##imported-begin##Margaret Schell##imported-end##

I didn't have a chance to get to know Tom well, but for the short time I did, I feel blessed. His smile, strength, and easy way made him a wonderful asset to our Sunday school class. He will truly be missed. My prayers go out to his family & loved ones.##imported-begin##Ramona Airhart##imported-end##
Our class nor our hearts will ever be the same. He touched us in many ways. His quiet yet strong presence will be felt and be part of the glue for this class for years to come. Personally, I will always feel a great sense of peace from my last visit with him I could see he was ready to take the next step in his journey. God Bless each of you who knew and loved him.##imported-begin##Lynn Hilton##imported-end##
Dear Tom,
When I saw you Wednesday evening, I wish I had told you how great you looked and how much I admired your strength. At times like that though, it's hard to find the right words. I can only hope that if I'm ever faced with that situation, I will be able to handle it with the grace and dignity that you did.
Good bye for now. I'll be seeing you again someday....##imported-begin##Allison Benton##imported-end##
