Missing you Tom,......

Rosemary, Your loss is overwhelming and it's very hard to believe. The love you and Tom had for each other was a model and inspiration to all. I will always remember and cherish our 20+ years of friendship and laughter (retreats, Super Bowls, San Diego, desserts, etc. etc.) Tom will live forever in our hearts. I can't express my sadness and pain for your loss. God be with you,
Anne

Boertman Family, we are so sorry to hear about Tom. While I haven't seen you personally for some time my parents have kept me up to date with the family. (although it seems like only yesterday I was babysitting a baby Dustin and Alyssa!). Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time and we hope that all of your warm and wonderful memories of Tom will help ease some of the pain. Pam & Sandy Davison

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of Tom's loved ones, both in Arizona and Michigan.
I remember Tom as a young man, about 19, helping my dad on his bread route one summer. I would wait for them to come home, which usually wasn't till 8pm. My mom would make dinner for both of them, and I would wait outside, by Tom's motorcycle, till he came out and started it up. He was bigger than life to me. I will always remember him that way.

Tom was my cousin and it's been far too many years since I've last seen him but he was part of my family and my heart goes out to him and to all those he left behind. It's hard to find adequate words at a time such as this but my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dear Rosemary
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this sudden tragedy. Please accept this prayer taken from Marianne Williamson's "Illuminata":
Dear God,
Please take the soul and spirit of this dear departed one into the sweetest corner of your mind, the most tender place in your heart, that he, and I, might be comforted.
For now he has gone, and I pray, dear God, for the strength to remember he has not gone far. For he is with you and shall remain so forever. He remains with me, for we are all in you together.
The cord that binds us one to another cannot be cut, surely not by death. For you, dear God have brought us together and we remain in ETERNAL connection.
THere is no power greater than you. Death is not your master, nor mine. These things I believe and ask my heart to register. I surrender to you my grief and my pain. Please take care of your servant, my dear Tom who has passed. And please dear lord, take care of me. AMEN
This prayer has helped me when loved ones have past and I hope it can be an encouragement to you also. Please take care of yourself Rosemary and know that many people are praying and thinking of you now. We are here if you need ANYTHING at all!!
Love Always

We were incredibly shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of our friend Tom Boertman. It is apparent from reading his obituary the number and quality of his contributions to the Scottsdale
Community, a Community that he loved dearly.
His extraordinary devotion to his wife Rosemary, and his children
go far to set an example for all of us.
Tom will be sorely missed by this family, particularly his warm laugh
and fine sense of humour.
