Mike and Gina Bingham and family

Kathy and family, we were so sorry to hear of Tommy's passing. You will be in our thoughts and prayers in the days and weeks ahead. He had such an impact on so many...he will be sorely missed.

Love, Ben & Patty(Harrison)Hayes(grew up in West End)

Ms. Kathy,
I will always remember my time spent with Tom and the hospitality that you both showed in opening your home for me to stay the weekend. Tom will always hold a special place in my heart because he lived what most only preach. He truly was a giant of a man, humble servant, husband, father, Pop's and friend while he blessed us with his earthly presence. I can only imaging the welcome he received at his true home going. The souls that he had never met but who were saved because of...

The passing of a giant, we are all richer for having known him and we are all poorer in his absence. Thank the Lord Jesus Christ for the influence and testimony of Tom Cheely!

Kathy, there are very few sermons I remember but I can still vividly recall Tom's voice when he would pray:
"Father, we thank you for the Lord Jesus Christ who died that we may have life through his name."
These simple words seemed to open a direct channel to the 'secret place of the Most High' and I will never forget them. I am forever grateful for Tom's influence. May God energize you and your family with peace and unspeakable joy throughout this most difficult time.

Kathy, I pray you will feel God's comforting arms around you in this sad time. Tom was a blessing to so many.

Dear Family, May the peace of God and the love of family and friends comfort you in the days ahead.

Praying for Family and blessed being able to call Tom a dear friend. He will be missed.

Wow...what an impact this Servant of God had on us and countless others around the globe! Meeting him in 1984 when we were newlyweds, we've had the honor to serve with him ever since! While we mourn our separation from him, we know he is healthy and rejoicing in Heaven. May God richly bless those he leaves behind.
