Not sure what to say?

Yolanda,
I will never forget "Papa Old's" sense of humor and his welcoming me every time I visited your home as a kid. I'm sorry I didn't get to the funeral home. I actually read his obituary in the paper as we were on our way out of town last Friday. I know he was loved and will be missed. Mack and I just want you to know you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Mrs. Litton and family, I'm so sorry for the loss you've suffered. I know you have many precious memories that you can draw strength from. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

God looked around his Garden and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face.
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
His Garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain.

I worked with Tom at Appalacian and appreciated him not only as a "boss" but as a friend. Tom was always smiling and had a good word for everyone. I never knew him to be unfair to anyone. He will be missed by all who knew him and my thoughts and prayers are with his family. You are truly blessed for having him in your family.

So sorry to hear of Mr. Old's death; as an employee of Appalachian Power, I remember him very well, we had many long conversations about his Christian faith. He was always so upbeat about life, and appreciative for every opportunity that he encountered. He will be missed. My prayers are with all his remaining family during this difficult time.

Thomas William Old will very much be missed...while not for long! He was among the first to welcome me and my family to Roanoke almost 10 years ago and I am sure will be among the first to welcome me to glory one day soon. May we all endeaver to touch the lives around us as we have been touched by this precious mans life. May God bless everyone that reaches out to this family in prayer and support in the days to come.
