Not sure what to say?

Mrs. Tomlinson and family: I just heard about the passing of Mr. Tomlinson, so very sorry to hear that, I know we havent talked to u in a long long time but our prayers are with u. I will call my mom and tell her, I have fond memories of the trip i took with several other people and Mr. Tomlinson when we went to the Holy Land way back in 1972. Please give Perry and Timmy our condolences also, i dont think i ever met your other daughter, Melissa, but i did hear about Pam's passing also.

Dear Pat & family -
Our deepest sympathy to you and your family in the loss of Gratten. He was a true servant of our Master. Right now we pray for God's special comfort for you - the comfort that only He can give. The Tomlinson days at ARBC hold many special memories for us. Times at Ridgecrest were so much fun with him around!
Love,
John & Shirley Fogle

Dear Pat & family,
Thank you so very much for the obituary for Gratten. I have sent it to all his FBCH family. We have such wonderful memories of both of you and are so thankful we got to be together in 2006. Our love & prayers are with you

Pat & family,
I was saddened just now to read of your great loss, but isn't it wonderful to know that Gratten is now in perfect health in Heaven with our Lord. I have many good memories of our years at St. Andrews Baptist with your family as friends, and have enjoyed our catching up whenever we have had the opportunity. I will be in touch when we get home next week.
My love and prayers are with you and your entire family.

Our prayers are with you all during this difficult time. It is an honor to have memorials for Rev. Tomlinson suggested for the children at Connie Maxwell Children's Home. On behalf of the boys and girls who will be helped while honoring Rev. Tomlinson, I thank you.

Dear Pat,
The years you spent at Ashley River were so special. You all served the Lord with gladness and with love. You helped teach all of our family about salvation and loving and serving the Lord. I will be forever grateful for your service and devotion.

Pat, Tim, Suzanne and family,

It was a great pleasure to know Gratten and experience the care he brought in his ministry to churches and individuals. I never see an alligator on a golf course that I do not remember him and our gator experience at Beaufort Country Club years ago.

Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Pat and Family,
What beautiful memories we have from our days at St. Andrews Baptist Church! Your family exemplifies the meaning of Christianity, and we delight in God sharing your family with us as leaders. Thank you for being part of our family in Christ; we love you!
