To the Family. Our prayers are with you today. You have had the greatest treasure life can give. " Mr. Tom" as referred to by my five year old son Joshua would yell with excitement to see him. Mr Tom always took the time to spend with him and bring him chips or candy. Joshua really admired and loved Mr Tom. He has truly blessed our lives with his vivid stories and wisdom. He was a great grandfather figure and will be sadly missed by our family. Sammie & Brenda Davis

We are going to miss Tom so much. He was a sweet and loving man. Tom always had a kind word and a big bright smile. Sheppard's will not be the same without his frequent visits. Prayers for all his loved ones left behind.
