My heart and my prayers go out to my family. Tom will truly be missed. He was loved and adored by many. He always called me Boo Boo, and I never knew why he started calling me that, and I never asked why, just accepted it as a nick name he gave me. and only he could call me that. Farwell to you Thomas Edward Edison, you have lived a good life. Give uncle Virtrees and Aunt Agnes a hug and kiss from all of us. until that time comes when we all will see each other again. R.I.P. Family keep may God give you comfort and Peace as you lay him to rest. Hold on to those sweet memories and share them often, for that will keep him with you always. Our hearts are heavy now, but joy comes in the morning.
