Georgianna, I only just today learned of Tom's passing. Please accept my condolances at your loss. One of the fondest membories of my life was working with Tom when we buildt the Sanctuary at the Woodland Baptist Church. It was a labor of love for him and without whom it couldn't have been done. I know you miss him dearly. May God's abundant Grace keep you in Perfect peace and He hold you close in his everlasting arms of love. God bless you and the family.

It has been our privilege to call Tom and Georgianna our friends and neighbors for these past eleven years. Tom was completely unselfish in devoting his time and energy to the community. Marilyn and I especially appreciated Tom for his mischievous nature and ever present sense of humor. The Marine in him manifested itself in his unflinching sense of duty and uncompromising sense of “right and wrong”. We loved and admired Tom. We will truly miss his wisdom and laughter.
Our deepest sympathy goes out to Georgianna and the rest of Tom's family. God bless you all.
