A very special and godly man. Prayers of comfort and peace to Dee and daughters. How glorious to know Tom is with his savior.

My prayers and sympathy to your family. Dave and I knew Tom from church. We previously attended CCBC.

My heartfelt condolences to the Gwaltney Family. Dr. Gawltney was my history professor in my EMU master program. He was so very encouraging and supportive.

May the Lord comfort & hold the Gwaltney family and all who will miss this incredible man <
