Not sure what to say?

To the Wilke family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. Tom will be missed. He was such a kind and caring person, a true gentleman.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

To Mona and Family,

My deepest sympathy to you in your time of sorrow. Never in my life have I ever met such a gentleman as Tom. He was very caring, had a great sense of humor, and was very down to earth. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.

Dearest Mona and Family,

My heart grieves with yours over the loss of your husband and best friend, Thomas. You and your entire family are in my thoughts and prayers as you endure this most painful time. It is a comfort to me (as I know it is for you) to know that you have a loving family, extensive church family, countless friends and neighbors and community who care about you.

The reason people care so deeply for you is that you and Tom have cared so deeply for all of us!...

Dear Mona,
My warmest thoughts to you. Tom was and still is a great man, he'll be fondly remembered by all who knew him.

Dear Mona and Family...
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. How fortunate I am to have met you and Tom a few years back when we attended The Manchester Citizens Police Academy together. Whenever I saw Tom over the years, he was wearing that heartfelt smile of his. When I would see him working at Highland Park Market, he would always take the time to stop and chat a bit. I especially enjoyed seeing him beam when he spoke of his family. My memories of him will make me smile....

TO MONA WILKIE &WILKIE FAMILY,

MAY I EXPRESS MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY.

A great neighbor, a good friend, a gentleman in the truest sense of the word. The world would be a much better place if there were more people like Tom and the rest of his family in it. Always ready with a wave and a smile, his gentle guidance was as welcomed as his treats for the kids. He will be missed but not forgotten.

Dear Mona & Family -
Words can not express the sadness felt by Tom's passing. I will never forget seeing his big smile as he walked into the police department for class during our session of Citizen's Police Academy. I always thought he and Mona were the cutest couple I'd ever seen. And in the years that followed, he always had time between deliveries at Highland Park to stop and talk. I admired his sense of humor and willness to work. He will be greatly missed.
