I will always remember my best friend of 47 years, and mis him, we always talked about retirement together and what we would do, but sadly it wasn't meant to be, we were like brothers since we met both 10 years old, same age, me only 4 days older, we always celebrated our birthdays together, I am grateful for the time we had together and have many memories and pictures of different stages of our lives RIP my friend, always in my thoughts

Rosie, Chris and James,

I am so sorry about your loss. I just found out today about it wish i could have been there. I remember all the times at the bar with karoke and Tom singing Delilah. That I have to say is my favorite memory. And when times were tough for me he gave me a job waitress in the bar.

Thank you Tom, and you wil be missed.

For Tom and his wife - my sister Helena (Rosie),

Quote:

There a 3 parts to a person that is Higher Self - Conscious Self -UnConsciou/Sub-Conscious.

For SISTER:
Trust
Believe in yourself, and have faith that God and the angels are with you. Ask them to help you to lose the fears that block you from enjoying full faith.
Your angels know that you've been disappointed in the past and now in the present situation. These experiences may have eroded your faith in yourself, other people, or even God. However, the angels remind you of the importance of holding on to your faith.
By letting go of deep resentment and anger soon, the angels emphasize the value of trusting in something greater than yourself ... your Higher Self/Higher being, your Angels, your Beliefs. They know that you, like everyone, have made mistakes in the past. However, these mistakes have not eroded your true nature. You still have omnipresent God within you, and God is infallible. The angels ask you to trust in God and to trust in them. They will help you trust yourself. They have a plan to help you in all areas of your life and help you into a life better than any life you could have dreamed of by yourself, alone.
Fears, superstitions and jealousy must be a thing of the past now, this is always been my loving guidance to you.

TOM - BROTHER IN LAW
You were a very great brother-in-law and it is so sad to see you go. You were a wonderful Uncle-Tom to my son Stanley-John. We both see you as the 'Warrior David' in the bible. You are now safely in the light and out of darkness. Thou are good even through death for mighty Tom!
I'll always remember the wonderful song I still play once - in-a while, reminders forever of you an my son, the days of MacDonalds and Stan the little tool time man: ''A White Sports coat and Pink Carnation."
And finally, my appreciation to the whole Ambas family for sharing there love for Tom and meaning of family and towards my sister in her time of need to come.

Uncle Tom,
It was the shocking news that i heard today, that brought tears to my eyes. On that dreadful day, God decided it was yout time to go, so he took your life away, And eveyone felt the pain, the pain that you been suffering for the last few months. Everyone including the family will think of you and will always know that you'll be looking down on us keeping your boys safe, making sure every thing goes okay in there lives. I will never forget you and what you've done in your wonderful years that you've been here.

Love,
Francine, Felisha and the Doyle Family
