My Uncle Tom was my hero. His life reflected a love of Christ, his family, it was a life of unselfishness. He led an example of what it mean's to be a christian. He will be greatly missed by all those whose life he touched. Much love, your niece, Sheri Quinlan

I had only seen or spoken to Uncle Tom a few times over the years. But the last time I came to see him he sat me down and told me that he was proud of me. He said that me and my husband were doing things right and we should be proud of ourselves. I said, Uncle Tom Ive never been in a situation like the one we were discussing that day. He said the Lord will guide you through it. He also said that it took special people to care for and want to raise a disabled child that wasnt even mine. I'll never forget him telling me that I was doin Gods work by loveing and taking care of my son Alex we are trying to adopt. There had been alot of people who didnt think my husband and I should adopt Alex. But uncle Tom sure made my year when he said Kelly your doing the Lords work by caring for that little guy. Thanks uncle Tom, I knew then that you were right I was doing the Lords work. God had given me this most precious child because he knew I would love and care for him as if he was mine.
Theres some thing now Uncle Tom I wish I could talk to you about now. But Im sure me and Jesus can work it out. I look forward to seeing you and mom in heaven soon. I love you.

Kirk,
Although it has been a long time since college, I still remember those times your family opened their home to me as your friend. May God comfort you and your family.

Tom was very dear to the Kenny Bodine family. Our last visit with him was in July at the hospital and we had a great visit. We had prayer together before we left that day. I know that Tom is secure in the arms of Jesus and I look forward to visiting with him eternally in heaven. Thank You, Lord for giving this world Tom Campbell. He was a true reflection of Jesus and he lived his life every single day for Him. May the Lord comfort Shirley and the entire family in a special way.
With all our love and until we meet again....
