Not sure what to say?

I can't believe it's been 14 years ago already! I still remember exactly where I was standing when I got the news. There was so much I wanted to still talk to you about. I still think about you so often. Thinking about you today too, June. Love and Blessings, Cheryl Maksymowski

Just a note to remember the impact that Tom and his wonderful family have had on the Sullivan family. Words connot express this feeling adequately. Certainly the Sullivan clan offers our continued prayes and encouragement. May God richly bless.

Mike Sr. for all of the sullivans.

Ahhhh Ahlquist's... Thanks for writing that on here... I just want to add that I am thinking of June & the family all the time. Everytime I drive by your road June I think about how you are doing.... Everytime I drive by the accident site (almost daily or more) I am praying for you. I love all of you!

Our love, thoughts, and prayers continue to the family. Many wonderful memories of Tom during our GRSBM adventures.

Dear Hammond Family,

I am late getting to this but I wanted you to know how much I admired your husband, fahter, and grandfather. I am a part of the jail ministry from ST Barts. I had met Tom several times at the jail. He worked with me one Sunday and I understood how much the prisoners appreciated how much he did for them.He was a wonderful person and I am sure Jesus welcoming him with open arms. God bless and keep you all! It will be awful hard to replace him at the Prison.

Dear hammond family,

I'm sadden and rejoice at the same time. The Lord will be your strenght in the days and months ahead as he has always been. I had lunch and met with Tom several times while living in the Kent City area. He was a blessing in my life and encouraged me greatly.

I will be keeping you in my prayers.

Tom had a very special place in my life. From the youth ministry to CBF, God used him to impact my life and our family in countless ways when I was a teenager at Cedar Heights Baptist Church. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Dear Hammond Family,

My heart aches for you all during this time. I have been reflecting on his life over the past several days. The thing that is speaking so much to me is how many lives he impacted over the years. He loved people and gave of himself so sacrificially. I really do believe that the fruit of his life will continue through the lives of people that he has touched over the years. I am praying for you all and thinking of you.

Dear June,
Remember with fondness our summer internship days at Calvary. Charlie so enjoyed Tom's fellowship and comradery. Please know that the precious Word of God will speak and you will hear as never before as you cling to His promises. "The Lord God is my Strength, my personal bravery, and my invincible army; He makes my feet like hinds' feet and will make me to walk (Not to stand still in terror, but to walk) and make spiritual progress upon my high places of trouble, suffering,...
