Dear Rydeen family,

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your precious Tom. He was a good friend during our teenage years. He taught me how to drive ?. Had so much fun hanging out with him with our neighborhood friends, going to concerts. Tom was such a loyal friend. And I'm very thankful for all the fond memories.

Thoughts and prayers to the family.

Peace,
Sheryl (Baldwin) Staples

Kelly, I am so sorry for your loss. I will not be able to make it to the service tonight. I was surprised to learn of Tom's passing. I didn't realize that he had been so sick. I thought that he was recovering. My heart goes out to you and Morgan.

I'm going to miss seeing Tom's smiling face coming in for his Ice Crema drink at the coffee shop. Tom was always just an all around good guy. He will be missed.

The world has lost a kind soul. Revisting fond memories of our younger years when Lisa, Barbi, Tommy Two Tone (as he was nicknamed back then) and I used to hang out. Glad to hear he found a good woman who loved him well. I am so sorry for your loss.
