Not sure what to say?

I just now saw that Tom had passed away. I am very sorry to have heard this. Tom was always such a kind and generous man to everybody. I saw him come in contact with, and certainly to me. He opened his house to me and allowed me to stay with he and Susan for quite a while, which was a great blessing at the time. A kinder person I do not believe you will ever find.

Dear Susan, Jeff, Stephanie and family we send our deepest condolences.
Tom was such a kind hearted, loving man that loved his family above everything. He fought a long battle with the love and support of his family. May the memories help ease your sadness. Much Love, Debbie and Steve Izenman

So sorry for your loss!!. He was a special Cousin to all our family and we loved him. We have great memories of him in our younger days in McAlester. After we all moved to other places, Tom would travel for different occasions, sad and fun and we all appreciated that. I will always remember the great time we had when he and Susan hosted a family reunion at their home in Denton. Rest in Peace my sweet Cousin. Prayers for all the family.

Tom was my uncle, but better than that, he’s was a friend. We had many good memories together and shared advice between the two of us. It hurts deeply that he’s gone, but I know he’s in no more pain.
Love always,
Jeffrey Allen Nelms
