Dear Kathy, I am so saddened by your great loss -- he was not only your son, but a close friend to you as well. My sympathy is not sufficient for what you are going through now. Just picture Tom in the arms of Jesus--what an amazing place to be--a place we all long to be one day. You are in my prayers, dear one.

Kathy and family, my deepest sympathy goes out to all of you. I saw Tom very recently and of course, he had a huge smile when we exchanged our "hellos". I almost turned around to tell him that I was so happy he looked so good. When I got in my car, I thanked God for making him well. So when I learned of his passing, all I could think of was his HUGE smile. Guess God has a plan for all of us. We many not understand it or like it but we have to keep the faith and know that God knows best. Even...
