Carol Ann, I just learned today from Patsy that you had lost Tom. I only met him once at a class reunion but I know he was a fine person . It is ironic but my son-in-law lost his mother Lendra Dove the same day. You have my prayers & sympathy.

Dear Carol Anne. I will never forget that every time Tom called the office, and I answered the phone, he asked for his "bride" - even after all of your years together.

Dear Carol, I am so sorry to hear that you your lost husband. I will like to share a scripture with you at John 5:28,29. It says "the time is coming in which all those in the memorial tomb will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a ressurrection of life...." This one scripture gives alot of hope and comfort about the future.

My deepest sympathy to the family. I know your deep faith will sustain you through the difficult days ahead but will continue to keep you in prayer. Tom and I served on the Green Pines Recreation Center Board many years ago and I loved his beautiful smile and great sense of humor!

Carol Ann,
I was only in Tom's company a few times but I felt as though I new him well by being a brother-in law to one of my closest friends, Jim. What a personality!
Please know that you and your family are in my prayers. God bless you.

Carol Ann,
I do feel like like I lost more than a great neighbor but a parent at times and a new friend. I have missed seeing Tom out in the yard doing something or in my yard doing something then sharing a story or an opinion with me. I do and will always miss him. It was comforting coming home and knowing Tom was keeping an eye on things. I know Tom took great pride in everything he did. He was extremely helpful to me and I will always be greatful for his kindness.
Your Italian Neighbor,
Giovanni

My heart was saddened by the loss of such a kind man. Tom and his family became not only a patient at the dental office where I work, but I consider them friends as well. Keep all of his memories close to your hearts and he'll always be close to you!!
Love,
Yvonne Preddy, (aka...Voluptuous Sue)

I am so sorry for your loss. Tom was one of our employees. He was always kind and genuine. (I am the one who made the birthday cake for one of his daughter's one year - what an honor!) God bless you all and comfort you during this difficult time.
