Not sure what to say?

Dear Lisa, Tommy and Jeannie
I am sorry to hear about your dad. He was one the funniest people I knew growing up. I will never forget watching everyone build the garage and the day the pool broke. Your father will always be like a second father to me from those days on hiveley. He will be missed and will always be known as a good friend for all of us the lived and grew up in that neighborhood.

Dear Lisa, Tommy, and Jeannie,
We are devistated to hear about your dad. He was one of the best friends we had. We have many fond memories of getting together and playing cards with your folks, building the garage on Hiveley, and being a part of your family. Your dad was someone who left you knowing he truely cared about you and really liked you. A wonderful man and a great friend.

I am sending this note for my dad, Clarence Wolff, who is out if the state and cannot the service. My dad worked with Tom (Tucker) at Jack Selle Buick in the early-mid 70s. Dad and I have fond memories of those times. We are deeply sorry for your loss. Clarence & Dan Wolff & family

What can I say about a man I have never met before last night? Well I have so much to say and not quite enough words to say it with. Tom was loved by many, he had an incredible smile that stretched from ear to ear. He loved to fish and bowl and race his car and had a passion deep down for all three and a love even deeper for those that shared in the joy of each of these special moments with him. Children made him happy and brought joy to him, you could see this in his smile with his children...

Tom will be missed by his family at St. Jude's. My love and prayers.
Sincerely, Nancy Jones

Tom will be missed at St. Jude's. His devotion and spirituality was very evident to all who knew him. He was very proud to be a Lay Eucharistic Minister. We are remembering his smile and his family in prayer.
Paul and Dee Grossmann

Tom will be surely missed by his brothers and sisters at St. Jude's. His quiet confidence was always a comforting influence whenever he served at the altar. Tom and I shared in that ministry and each thought the other had the gifts to do more. I felt he would make a great deacon and Tom wanted to push me(gently) to the priesthood. I'll treasure those conversations in the vesting room always. My condolences to Tom's family and loved ones.

Tom was the kind of man who was known to us mostly by his faithfulness. He has served St. Jude's by quiet example. Dave worked with him most recently at an Earth Day clean up of our gardens. We will miss him, and think of him as we join in the eucharistic feast each Sunday. Our condolences to Tom's loved ones.

Lisa, Tommy and Jeanie,
I was so sorry to hear about your dad. All of you were like another part of my family when you were growing up. I have many memories of our days on Hiveley. One thing that comes to mind when I think of Mr. Lawrence are the times when Charlie would get lose and your dad would be running around the neighborhood trying to catch him. God bless all of you.
