"running is the rhythm of life". that tape plays in my head often on my solitary runs that are now more jogging than running. Tom really was special person in so many ways. I remain saddened by his premature death but at the same time appreciative of life lessons he imparted to me.

Tacey and family: Tom and I were classmates at WSHS, and played in band and were in many other classes. I remember him fondly from those days and am glad that we could reconnect later. I am very grateful to the care that he gave to my parents, Don and Cara Lee Davis as their personal physician, plus my grandmother Hazel Cornelius. I know you have all been wonderful friends to my brother John Davis and his daughter Anne. I am just so thankful that Tom and I were able to talk one more time at...

I met Tom through BSF and was impressed with his humility and integrity. He was always warm, friendly and cheerful. He handled his illness with grace and class. He was a wonderful person and he will leave a void in many people's lives as well as the medical community and the community of Sioux Falls. My prayer is that God's grace will surround you and sustain you and that His peace will uplift you.

I am so sorry for the loss of Dr. Braithwaite to his family and the community. Though I didn't know him personally, I heard of his caring ways through his mom and the news; a loss in this life for all.

Tacey,
I remember you and Tom from Augie. My brothers and I (Dick, French horn; Bob, trombone; and me, flute) got to be around Tom as part of the musical family there. I have good memories and am not surprised that he did so many things to help people. I'm so sorry for your loss, but so grateful for Tom's life.
Peace,

Dear Tracy and family,
I weep with you in your grief, even though it is not the same grief of non-believers. I have absolute confidence, as do you, that Tom had unshakable faith in his heavenly Father. God is very much present with Craig and me in our grief journey and I know He is with you in yours as well.

Tracy, I will miss seeing Tom and you in Chicago. It had been my hope to be able to see you and share notes about our journeys, but it was not to be. Instead, I hold you...

To the Braithwaite Family and Medical Community of South Dakota,
On behalf of the American College of Physicians I would like to express the deepest sympathy to the entire Braithwaite family and to the medical community of South Dakota on the passing of a great physician and citizen of humanity. Tom was an amazing and inspiring person, physician and colleague whose values and passion for life were truly galvinizing to all lucky enough to be part of his mission in life and medicine. He ran...

Tom was such a sweet man. My condolences to his family, especially Mother Marty.
