Dear Pat, Curt, and Carole,
I am so sorry this information never got posted. I was thinking about you and Tom again and decided to read the guest book entries when I noticed ours was not posted. I have no idea what happened, but feel very bad that you didn't hear from us sooner.
We posted ours when we posted Mom and Dad's!
My best thoughts are of the many laughs we had living next door for so many years. Tom and Brooke and the hooters are such fond memories. Tom...

Pap was such a generous man. Always willing to give a helping hand and excellent advice. We are so blessed to have had him in our family. He always made me smile. He was a beautiful man, with a heart so full of love for his friends and family. Your step great-granddaughter calls you "Pap Pap Angel" now, she knows you will be watching over all of us. You will always be loved...

Dear Pat and family,
We are deeply sorry for the loss of Tom in your lives. He was a wonderful neighbor to our daughter, Bonnie and her family. When I think of Tom, the very first thought I have is of him chasing down Smokey for always getting after poor old Mutt. He was such a good influence on Brooke as she was growing up.
Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
Fondly,
Honey and Billy Bell

I am a "long distance" volunteer at Clarksburg Continuous Care Center. Each year I prepare a Memorial Christmas Angel ornament for each resident who has passed away during the year. There will be an angel ornament on one of CCCC's Christmas trees this year for Mr. Teets. Please know that my thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
