Condolences to family and friends of Tom’s.

My condolences and much love to the family of Claud, we will miss him dearly. Claud brought us donuts, flowers, garden seeds, and MANY laughs each week. There was no one like Claud Tom and his big heart, my heart is broken for all of you.

So sorry to learn of your dad’s passing Beth and Tom. I was shocked when I read about your loss. May God provide the peace that surpasses all understanding now and in the days ahead.

May our lord always be with you and tuck you under his wings. Rest in peace Mr mcdermitt
