I am so sorry for your loss. I happened to cut out the notice from the ajc notices. Thomas caught my eye. He looked so young, and his age was not mentioned. I was also moved by the choice of where donations will be going, to localm animal shelters. At my local animal shelter I just read that someone donated beds for the animals, so they don't have to sleep on the floor. I can't help but think that this need was fulfilled by Thomas' wishes. I hope you have found peace through this difficult time. Sincerely, Sharon Otani

Lindsay, Anne and James,
I am greatly saddened by the death of Tom. I just learned about this and wanted to express to you all my sympathy and to remind you of the wonderful promises we Christians have from our Lord concerning the life to come. I hope these promises will be a comfort to you at this time. I treasure many good scout memories with Tom. Mary joins me in this expression of sympathy, and we assure you of our prayers. Al Myers
