Thomas L. Christensen

Tom, my penpal Lynn of England is coming to U.S. to visit me for 3 days on 12 Nov. She is the one I knew for 55 years, and we will finally meet. God works in mysterious ways. Love your wife Lois.

Tom will be missed by many and by no one more than his dear wife, Lois. My late husband, Kent, shared many stories over the years of his Uncle Tom's sense of humor when they were younger. Although it seems to us that their time here was too short, we can remember both of them with joy. Today they are both free ...they have gone on ahead of us to be with the Lord. I imagine they are laughing about something together!

Love, Laurel

I have some fond memories of Tom. like when Lois and Tom and I would go to the horse track. and how much fun we had. Tom was friendly, and kind, and his laugh and when he would sing i enjoyed it.
Tom you will be missed.

Attending Tom's lovely memorial service brought back many memories of growing up with youngest brother, Tom.
Speaking at his service was uplifting as shared memories of his accomplishments and kindness were remembered.
His starting the soccer program at our school district was a major plus as it was in its early stages then; but now is enjoyed by many children.
We were proud to represent Lois and Tom at their wedding 17 years ago as memories are formed on these...

I miss your singing around the house Dear Tom, but I visited your grave and put red and white and blue silk flowers on it and prayed.
You are missed each day. You helped many people here on Earth.
Your wife, Lois

I am very thankful that Uncle Tom and Aunt Lois found each other because I know they truly loved each other.
I remember as a little girl that Uncle Tom gave me my first (and only) monogrammed ballet bag with my name (spelled correctly!) It was a red bag with white piping. I think that he was as thrilled as I was when I opened it that Christmas! I know he loved to see others happy.

Dearest Tom,

I really miss your laughter around the house, It is so quiet. I loved your laugh. You surely were a happy person.

Karen loves the idea of the red white and blue flowers Tom, your favorite colors. Love Lois , your wife.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
