Offering our deepest condolences to the family at this very difficult time. At 1 Corinthians 15:26, there's a promise for a future without death. May God give you peace and strength to endure this tough time.

Dear Bella and Family:
It was a pleasure to know Tom. I worked with him at the Burrillville School District. He sure could make us laugh. He will greatly be missed. Heaven will be a fun place with him there.
God bless you Tom.

My deepest sympathies. I knew Tommy from the time we rode to school in my Aunt's car to his working at Remington Lumber and beyond. He will be sorely missed by his family and friends alike.

Empty hands
Full of tears
They held you once
A moment ago
Or maybe years
It's so unclear!
Time stopped
When your heart stopped
Beating
Too soon
No longer a breath
To fill your lungs
Nor a laugh
To fill the silence
Only a moment
To fill these hands
Now empty
Full of tears...
